Here are some things I’ve learned about writing customer reviews for books on Amazon, Goodreads, and other platforms.
The best length for a review is about 100 words.
A detailed review is better than just “I loved it.” You don’t need to summarize the plot—the book blurb will tell the readers what the book is about. Other readers want to know what you liked about the book or why it was important to you.
Here are some questions to get you started:
Who was your favorite character? Why?
What about the book surprised you?
What other books would you compare this to? Why?

You may want to write your review in your word processor before going to post it on the web. Then just copy and paste it into the text box for the review.
For Amazon, go to the Acquaintance page and scroll down below the Author Bio to the gray button that says “Write a customer review”
For Goodreads, go to this page: https://www.goodreads.com/
Then, in the “search books” box, type in Jeff Stookey, click on Acquaintance or one of the other books in the trilogy.
Here’s how to post a review on Goodreads: Navigate to the page of the book you’d like to review (you can find it by searching for it in the search bar in the header). Underneath the book’s cover image, hover over the stars until the desired number of stars is highlighted, then click on them to rate the book. A pop-up menu will appear above the stars. Click on the Write a review text.

Thank you for reading Acquaintance and the other books in the trilogy.
Happy reading.
