Non Review Rant
The author approached me with a book review request. I did not get a review copy. This is my unbiased and honest review.
Review
The book is a collection of four stories. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?
Incomplete Lives
A story about Kunal and Bhavna, two long time friends dealing with their own issues. Kunal is a divorcee. Bhavna is single.
I like the depiction of social pressure on Bhavna for marriage. Also, the obvious possiblilty of a love angle between Kunal and Bhavna is not part of the plot.
Two Women
The story is about two wives of a deceased man bond over a non-existent plot that the late husband had purchased.
The Only Alternative
Some Stories
I like the first one the best. The other two stories are also good. I felt that it needed another round of proof reading and editing.
Verdict:
Overall rating: 3/5
