Title:

Butterfly– the most beautiful creation of God, and its flawless wings is its identity. The more beautiful they are, the more trouble they cause. And Phoebe's life is exactly like that, full of struggle.

The title might sound simple to some but trust me it's perfect. Nothing can describe the story better.

Cover:

There is a proverb, 'never judge a book by its cover' but still for some, a cover is the first impression as it gives us a vibe about what the story has in store for us, at the same time, it also plays as a factor to attract the readers. There is no doubt in that your cover goes pretty well with the story. I liked the font but still, there is always room for improvement.

Blurb:

It's something that plays an initial role in the book. If the blurb can catch readers' minds then for me it's perfect, and in your case, I can proudly say that it was. You kept everything to the point. The start makes us travel a journey of curiosity and that doubles till the end. Honestly, I do not encourage the practice of putting questions into blurb because many writers do not know how to weave it perfectly inside the blurb, but in your case the questions that made us question ourselves and our living is the best thing.

Story startup :

As I started reading the prologue, I thought it's some startup with the scene description but I was so wrong. It just added curiosity. The way you describe the mindset of the man, his nervousness, and movement with self dialogues, it's freaking awesome. And relating with the butterfly is damn. I love it.

Plot:

Honestly, I don't go much with sad stories and surely your story gives a tint of sadness but also my heart was so greedy that it couldn't just stop reading. It's something I rarely find. The plot was intriguing and the way it revolved around the characters and their lifestyles, made it a perfect read.

Normally writers pick a common disease like cancer, tumor, etc. But I never thought EB could be the concept. More than that it's about how is the life of an EB person.

Creativity:

As I already said, it's something that I rarely find. The creativity gets full marks here. Not that everything revolves around EB but every single part opens up a new mystery. The emotions of Phoebe's, her dialogues, even that feeding process you explained, feel so real and beautiful.

Earlier, when Phoebe said, "you aren't the one who's dying," it's so hard for a mother but then, the revelation of being adopted, creates another twist.

Not to forget, the dictionary you provide saves my time a lot. Lol! The best part was the belief one. I have no words for that. Could it be for real? Excited moms.

Hats off to your poetry skills. The poetry just added more sparks to the story, and for sure, I'm going to read your poetry book.

The orphanage one is kind off common. It brings little disappointment but then again, the other part cope it up well.

And it's a universal truth or something else, I don't know, but yes everything happens with beautiful souls.

Daniel's character was pretty positive whereas Phoebe was a realistic one. Give me a bit of vibe of TFIOS.

The most important thing, everything is damn real and true. Either you're a medical student or you researched a lot before writing. So, kudos to you!

Grammar:

Your grammar is pretty good. Everything is fitted in the best way. Sentence construction is good too. Indeed a great work.

Overall it was an amazing story, different and twisted. Keep writing and shining!
