Accuracy of Book Profile
It does.
Draw of Story
The main conflict unravels right on the first pages.
Possible Drawbacks
Sometimes, the story looks repetitive. Some situations don't feel very credible as well, like the girl who finds the guy she used to love in her previous life, or the girl who receives a letter from a son she had in her past life.
Use of Special Effects
THE STORY RELIES A LITTLE BIT ON SPECIAL EFFECTS
Primary Hook of Story
The hook is this eternal cycle in which the protagonist has the chance to evolve as a person.
Fanbase Potential
Since it's part of a series, and the plot is somewhat interesting, I believe it could draw people's attention.
Awards Potential
I can only see Awards potential here if the film/series intensifies the protagonist's internal conflict regarding her condition, her losses as a person who never dies, and her expectations for the future. Otherwise, it's just a romance for fun and entertainment.
Envisioned Budget
MEDIUM BUDGET

What’s New About the Story
The fact that she always dies very young. It gives the narrative a suspenseful ticking clock.
Lead Characters
It's somewhat remarkable to have a protagonist who always returns to life over and over as Sarah and is able to remember her previous existence.
Uniqueness of Story
Not a rare gem, but it's engaging.
