My Review
When author says, Romance Shorts he means that, yes he keeps
the promise of entertaining his readers. Yes, this books his AMAZING after a
long time I read so fresh and intriguing short stories. They are still on my
mind.
When I read the book synopsis I realizes the book has unfolded
mine and nestled emotions. True, this book is a page turner and would astonish
its readers. Author Sourabh Mukharjee
has beautifully penned every emotions. He not only played fantastically with
his storytelling skills but actually made his every character so lively and
real.
The book consist of four different stories, and I fell in
love with the first story “ Nargis Through My Summer”- beautifully written with
perfect blend of emotions. Every story has had hidden treasures of love,
longing and wait- emotions. The title
and the book cover were very apt and they goes with each story. Simplicity at
its best.
The language is one of the positive punch of the book. It truly
surprised me when I began reading. So lucid and it left me CONTENT. I completed
the book in a single sitting.
I wish the book had few more pages, my mind was not ready to
accept the book has finally ended.
The book was rollercoaster ride to world of ecstasy of being
in love and how heart fights with all odds and kept its promise of loving that
one person only.
Romance Shorts is highly recommended to ‘every heart which beats for another’-Line
from the book.
I would love to rate this amazing work 5/5 stars. Looking forward
to read more from the author.

Book Blurb:
Dragonflies are said to be harbingers of rain, but they may be much more for one unsuspecting woman. A household dog finds a reprieve when Grandma comes to stay. A young man stops by an ATM at night and finds himself encountering robbers-and a young woman who may not be what she seems. In Betwixt Twists and Turns, author Mona Mohanty presents a series of short stories born from random thoughts that popped up out of nowhere, overheard bits of conversation, parables of family lore, and anecdotes from friends. These tales come from a variety of viewpoints-an older woman who receives an unexpected telegram, a businessman who encounters what might be a ghost, and various animals sharing their impressions of human life. These stories vividly capture the routine of existence-but with a surprising twist. This collection of short stories set in India features tales with unexpected outcomes from a wide range of perspectives, both human and animal.
Review:
Cover -
The vivid and colourful cover attracts. Simple, bold, big and white font is clearly visible.
Contents:
The anthology comprises of 2 very different stories, with quite different and twisted ends. The author has got a very rich vocabulary and this shows from page 1. And this was the only distracting thing. Else this book with its vivid and small stories will entertain you. there is everything for everyone ranging from love to horror.
Titles are small, and they fail to reveal the end, even if they suit the story best. A picture accompanies every title making it far more interesting.
My personal favourite story was The Dark Knight.
And if you care about story and tough words don't pose a problem then I'd recommend this for you. Else this book is not for a light read even if its meant to be. But you can pick this book for they will entertain you and make you ponder at the end.
