“Adults don’t allow children to make mistakes.”
Twisted Tales and Turns is a collection of short stories from various genres giving a reader access to a lot of different stories around death, family, sci-fi, love, loss, self-love, specially abled people, neurological disorders, rethinking lives, pain, courage and what not. Smita has tried to include something for everyone’s taste.
The book is divided into four parts- Out of This World, Not Too Far into the Future, All Doesn’t End Well and Love Comes in All Hues consisting of five stories each. The writing style is different from her previous book A Price To Love. All the stories in the book have been written before for different writing contests. I liked the range of the stories.
I connected to the book in different intervals. While some stories stirred something in me others made me move to the next one quick. My favourites are Top of the World, Till We Meet Again,Kaleidoscope, My Knight in White and Purchased Love. I wish there was a trigger warning for the first part of the book. Yes, the author has mentioned in her note that this book is going to have some unexpected twists and turns but one never knows what can trigger a reader. I had to keep the book aside for days to be able to read after that part. I also felt that my connection with the book as a reader wavered at different places in the book. I also wished for some stories to be longer.
The book will leave you satisfied and with a smile.
If you want to experience different genres in a single book, pick this book without a second thought.
MY RATING -3.5/5
