4.6 stars. She was proud.

MAYA: Readers love it. The reviews speak for themselves.

LAPTOP: Read-through rate: 22%.

MAYA: People are busy. They finish books in stages.

LAPTOP: 78% of your readers never reached the ending they gave 5 stars.

MAYA: They rated the experience, not just the ending.

LAPTOP: One reviewer wrote: "Beautifully written. Took me a while to get into it."

MAYA: That's a compliment.

LAPTOP: It's the sixth review that uses the phrase "took me a while."

MAYA: ...

LAPTOP: Six different people. Same words.
