I think book covers play a huge role on how readers perceive a book they have not come across. For this book, the book title does not do justice to its content. The author would have been more creative than just using her picture on the cover.

The cover contains a picture of a woman who is possibly the author, according to me. Seeing a smile on the lady's face made me think of a happy, winning woman.

The author's picture being the center of attraction on the cover page didn't really sit well with me.

I liked the picture of the author; i thought the open arms showed her confidence. However, I think the title itself could have been better; the text font certainly looked a bit amateurish, which I wasn't a fan of.

I think the cover of this book shows that even tought it's simple, the content is not. I honestly like it because it shows an empowered women . And being in the top 10 right now , shows that not the cover is important but the content.

The cover looks professional. I particularly like the way the title is written with certain words in different colour to emphasize them is creative. And black is classic colour for any cover page. It looks appropriate according to the book's theme.

The cover feels personal with the author’s photo, but it might not stand out enough to grab attention. Some might feel it lacked a creative touch.

The bold title grabs your attention and feels like a wake-up call. The author's confident pose adds power, as if she's saying she has lived this and has something to share. It feels striking and personal, making you curious about the story behind her smile.

I think it's simple and straight-forward, but could be a little more creative. The font doesn't speak to me, but I like how the woman is posed on the cover. It seems to invite you in.

The cover is simple, and that is okay for me. I do not actually pay much attention to book covers but rather the quality of the content. The lady in the cover appears to evoke certain feelings about the thematic preoccupation of this book.

The cover of They Love You Until You Start Thinking for Yourself by Monica Omorodion Swaida speaks volumes to me immediately. The striking repetition of red over the important words like love, thinking, and yourself makes the message punch hard—it’s empowering and slightly rebellious, in the best possible sense. The supporting figure of Monica at the bottom, standing confidently, beaming, gives it another personal and unapologetic feel, as if she’s claiming her truth and encouraging others to do the same, too. It makes me feel like this book is going to be about breaking free of expectation and being brave enough to stand in your own power.

I like the background colour. The background puts full emphasis on the author and the texts. It gives a serious, thoughtful tone without feeling gloomy.
