On an average the stories  are around 3-4 pages long and can be read over intervals like tea beak or lunch break.   The book justifies its title; offering various stories of love each having their own different feature.

I liked the cover of book simple yet attractive . having said that, I wish the author focused a bit more on proof reading and editing  as the point of view in few stories kept changing which might be confusing of new readers. I felt that the stor...
