Since it was a short story I read it entirely and I've never being this glad.

This story revolves around a concept, perhaps something so real that after you read this particular short story you may realize the importance of letting go and moving on.

The cover of the book goes very well with  the story. It's really beautiful. It covers the simplicity, the concept and captures every element of the book and gives a fair idea of what or where the story would take place.

Initially, I didn't understand, why the title of the book was whirlwind but when I did, it took my heart. the title fits the story perfectly like a glove, I don't want to put spoilers out about it so lets settle with that.

Moving on, the plot is really unique and stands apart among so many other stories based on the same concept. The book isn't all happy or lovey dovey in fact it brings out the reality of life. It explains something, we all have a difficulty to accept with, the harsh truths.

The flow of the book is smooth enough for a reader to get hooked to the storyline. There were a few parts which I felt  that they weren't required to be put up in the book but overall  the book was a beauty.

I cannot emphasis enough on how elegantly you've described every scene, perhaps there were a few places I got confused but reading further I realized how necessary it was and it wouldn't be better in any other way.

Speaking about the characters, they were quite realistic. I related to the character Alyson and I suppose many would as she portrayed the common thoughts that usually come across our minds. Cassandra and Ethan were equally good. The reason I said the characters are realistic, because they have flaws like we all do I really appreciate you to bring that out unlike other stories where they tend to show a character perfect and flawless.

The grammar is up to the mark. Your vocabulary is put to it's best use. There weren't any mistakes that I noticed. Clearly you've done a great work here.

Overall the ending of the book has held my heart, and  would satisfy the reader.

It definitely is a must read.
