Draw of Story
Christina becoming the first woman POTUS.
Possible Drawbacks
The book needs editing; there's enough plot and beats to fill 6 different novels. While many unnecessary details are narrated, the story lacks development in personal relationships between the characters (e.g., Christina decides to marry her four husbands the same night they meet). The author needs to understand what is important in this journey and let go of what's not essential. The book also needs to be more realistic when it comes to Christina's achievements; she solves all the world's problems, and that's just not believable, which makes the reader lose interest in the book.

What’s New About the Story
Christina's resilience. The story would be more unique if her life story was more realistic.
Lead Characters
Her resilience is remarkable.
Uniqueness of Story
No. The book needs to be edited, the essence of the story needs to be discovered, and interpersonal relationships better developed.
Possible Formats

Analyst Recommendation
WORK IN PROGRESS
Justification
The story is all over the place, too many things happen, making the reader bored and lost in the journey. The story is too unrealistic (e.g Saddam "Lussein" demands Christina's presence to negotiate the release of American hostages), Christina's relationships are poorly developed and melodramatic.
Tips for Improvement
Editing. Finding the true essence of the story and eliminating the extra fat, and further developing the relationships to make them more appealing.
Brief

What We Liked
In this epic journey, you'll find a strong, resilient protagonist who goes through the unimaginable to become the woman first president of the United States.
Film: With the right editing, American Goddess can become an intense feature film, filled with plot twists and beats that will keep the audience entertained from beginning to end. The celebrity world of the 1970s, as well as the European gay scene, can birth a visually appealing piece, and with the right cast, Christina Powers can become an icon.
TV: If adapted to TV, American Goddess would be a great soap opera. It is a very detailed narrative about the unimaginable journey Christina Powers goes through to become the first woman POTUS, filled with melodrama and plot twists. Its wide range of characters and many plot beats would allow the show to run for a very long time and captivate the audience who would see 16-year-old teen superstar Christina become a successful 50-year-old married mother.
Key points: Protagonist becomes the first woman president; The background of the European gay scene in 70s; The background of the celebrity world in 70s; The protagonist's progressive view on matters such as feminism and homosexuality; Follows a life-journey;
Synopsis
Christina Powers is a teen superstar, ready to shine with the help of her powerful uncle Frank. But everything changes when she meets her first love, Johnny, and finds out about her true biological parents: Marilyn Monroes and John F. Kennedy.
Cast out, Christina goes to Europe where she meets her best friend Johnny and becomes a gay pop icon. She returns to America, ready to become powerful, and she does. She marries actor Tony, but they get divorced and he kills himself, and their daughter dies in a fire.
Christina joins a Christian group but leaves them once she realizes she doesn't agree with all of their beliefs. She, then, marries Lee, a powerful politician. They separate, and she finds out he's involved in a conspiracy against America. In a fight with Christina, Frank is killed.
Christina meets Michael, and they get married, but when she gets involved in social issues that require her presence all over the world, Michael ends the relationship. They eventually get back together, have a son named Taylor, and fight back against bad people who want to control the world.
Christina wins all her battles and becomes the first woman president of the United States.
