Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Facets of Romance is made up of a collection of short romantic stories. All of the stories either take place in Kolkata or the characters hail from Kolkata.
What I liked about this book
- I liked that Kolkata is a significant place in all of the short stories. Although all of the stories are about different characters, the central location helps to draw them all together.
- Some of the stories are cute.
What I didn't like
- I did feel that some of the scenarios were not realistic. There is a lot of instalove and talk of proposals after such as short time. In one particular story I did not understand the characters reaction at all. They thought what their partner had done was funny but I would have been really upset by it.
- The way some of the characters were described was sometimes insensitive.
- The stories were overly rushed and made large jumps that were confusing.
I understand that these are short stories, but I think that they would still benefit from being fleshed out. I do think that the book has potential. However, some small changes would make a big difference .
2.5 stars
