Book’s name: That’s a heart handle with care Author’s name: Priyanka Bansal My rating: 3.5/5 That’s a heart handle with care written by Priyanka Bansal is an Anthology i.e. collection of short stories. All the stories are based on the same theme – Love. While one story is of teenage love, the other is of innocent love. One story is heartbreaking, the other one is life changing. All the stories are very short and you can read the whole book in just 1 hour.
The stories in the book are – Just for you my love The dumb me Guardian angel Immortal The beginning When life happens The last quest Dear spouse
The story which I like most was the last quest. It was about a scriptwriter who is writing a story unaware of the fact he is subconsciously writing his own story. He is writing life – events which have already happened in his life. He takes medicines to sleep in the daytime and works at night because then only he can see his beloved. It was a heartbreaking love story of a silent and simple boy and a girl who loved to live her life to the fullest. Dear spouse was about a couple where the author has described how trust is most important in a relationship. Other stories were also good but I felt that narration could have been better. The language was too plain and simple which makes the book to be read in one go. The cover was cute and simple. The book is a one time read and if you are looking for a light read you should definitely try this.
It consists of 8 Unique plots of a couple falling in love with each other and here I would emphasize the word unique because of its subtle variance between themselves.
It's a delightful collection to read to anyone who believes in the concept of true love as I do.
A couple of love stories made me smile and blush 😊 and I bet it would make you too.
Book Name: That’s a Heart- Handle with care Author Name: Priyanka Bansal Format: Kindle No of Pages: 90 Blurb: The blurb of the book is written in a compact way with highlighting the gist of the book. After reading the blurb, I can say that it is capable enough to make the reader turn the pages of the book. So, it is neat & clean indeed. Cover: The front cover of the book is eye catching no doubt, but it is too simple according to the content of the book. Cover design could have been better I will say, but as it is justifying the ‘Heart’ element of the book, so it is good so far. Title: The title of the book is unique and of course a catchy one. After hearing the title for the first time, I decided to opt for this book because it made me curious to know what is there to be taken care in our heart which we are not aware of already. Is there anything new that has been discussed in the book? So to satisfy my quest after reading the tile, I picked this book up. I think, more or less, the title will have the same impact on other avid readers too. As it is complementing the inner content and theme of the book, hence I consider this appropriate. Language & narration: Language of the book is lucid & simple enough to comprehend. Narrating style of the author maintained a simple flow in all the stories till the end, and perfect portrayal of emotions & with a bit of simple humor too can be pointed out in the book overall. The authoritative narration of the stories made the book a pleasant read. Hindi words are there too, but only a limited number of times. So, easy & connectable language is a plus point for the readers. Plot: This book contains 8 short stories of people from different background; but they have one simple similarity (at least I felt this while comparing the characters) and that is mature attitude towards life and having practical sense about relationships (in some way or the other). So basically, talking about the storyline & plot, I can say that, this book is an amalgamation of love, relationship bonding and phases of life itself. Unconditional true bonding of love is the backbone of the book that is directly connected to the heart only. Author is succeeded in putting a mature view into life and relationships through the eyes of the characters and ultimately this book is consists of lots of learnable messages about our relationships. Characterization: All the characters of the 8 short stories that are enlisted in the book have been portrayed well and relatable enough to connect. Be it any character, they are justified to their small but impactful roles till the end of every story. One noticeable thing about the characters are, they are as real as any of character we come across in our daily life around us, so I never felt that, the author has put something extraordinary in them or they are flawless like imaginary characters in stories. Let’s get familiar with the name of the characters mentioned in the book overall- Rini, Dhruv, Ruhi, Anaya, Russel, Rohit, Pratap, Abhinav, Maya Aunty, Kiara, Jyoti, Shivam, Nitesh, Reena, Shamita, Arnav, Latika, Aman, Ranjan, Rajat, Diya, Rohan, Ayesha. Theme: Love, Family bonding, Life, Relationship. Contents & My Verdict: As I mentioned earlier, this book contains 8 short stories helping us to have a better view life & relationships from different stages. Each story has a different flavor regarding love and every story is written with a fruitful message of positivity which makes us realize that love is all about practicality & maturity; of course the connection depends on the both of the hearts but to create & maintain a healthy and strong bonding, both will have to work and think in sensible way with keep mind wide open. Whether it the touching journey of ‘Dhruv – Rini’ in “Just for you my love” or the heart wrenching saga of love and sacrifice between ‘Rajat – Diya’ in “The last quest”; whether it is the unconditional pure emotional journey of genuine care & concern of Abhinav for Maya Aunty & Kiara in “Guardian Angel” or a sensible act of maturity & patience in togetherness between ‘Shamita – Arnav’ in “The beginning”- be it any story, but main motive of the author to put the both side of the coin in front is successful and I appreciate the efforts that the author generated by heart for everyone once or is in love. Except the 4 stories I mentioned above the other 4 stories of the book are- “The dumb me”, “Immortal”, “When life happens”, “Dear spouse”. Authoress Priyanka Bansal has presented the fact that if there is true love in heart then it must be taken care of. Relationships are life small plants in our heart; as a plant needs to be watered everyday to make it grow healthy gradually, similarly in our life, our relationships are also need to be worked on with care, patience, trust, faith, maturity, practicality, sensible way, with mutual dependence, and understanding; only in this way, a heart can be saved from being scatters into pieces, only in this way, a broken relationship can mend the pieces together and get the shape again, only in this way, a heart can be healed from previous scars, because when it comes to heart, handling things maturely is the only way to solve the problem. A moment of patience in a moment of anger can save a thousand of regrets… Pure, genuine, unconditional love, care, concern for partner, pain, sacrifice, happiness, trust, understanding- everything is portrayed in those 8 stories beautifully and aptly. This emotional rollercoaster ride of love & relationships will make the reader to think about the perspective of love in a different aspect. I loved reading the book and will be looking forward to the next work from the same author. My favorite line from the book: “When there are differences, we need not always complicate things. At times, doing a few things the way others feel comfortable, can resolve issues.” Recommendation: I would love to recommend this book to every avid reader out there who believes in true love and thinks that relationships are need to be cherished from heart. Any love readers, be it any kind of age, can surely give this book a shot. This book is definitely a time worthy read with a long lasting impact in heart and mind. Thank you. Rating (Overall): 5/5 Stars.

My Review: This book is a collection of tales which is more to do with emotions. Delusion and Misconception are main reasons that hamper any relations be it friendship Or the love between a husband and wife. Author has beautifully expounded a series of short tales in detail. As the title rightly conveys one must “Handle the heart with care” addresses to every individual that there is a need of tutelage to cherish the bondage. Every story is nicely crafted with emotion and care as main elements with a deeper meaning. Every tale is unique and it schleps a message to the readers and makes a soul-stirring impact in their heart.
The title perfectly suits the book, Cover picture with a heart shaped postcard in an envelope looks pretty awesome and stands apt for the story narration. Though it needs editing at a few places, the swift flow of narration in the book makes the reader overlook all the minor flaws. I completed the book at a single stretch of 3 to 4 hours.
My Story Pick: Immortal (A middle class matured story)
Overall I rate this ” That’s a Heart: Handle with care -Priyanka Bansal” a 4/5 which has an emotional touch, value of relation, handling heart with care, love and affection. I recommend my fellow readers to read it irrespective of their favourite genre.
The title is wonderfully chosen. It has a deep meaning. It speaks itself. It defines if you have a heart it should be taken care and the heart is the most valuable part of us. While choosing such kind of title one has to feel it and has to be drowned in deep thoughts. The cover is attractive one. It can bring attention of reader’s eyes to its. In cover, there is a letter box from where a heart signed letter or white paper is coming out. The cover has been made keeping similarity to the title. I appreciate this thought.
The book consists of eight short stories. All are depicted wonderfully. All characters are characterized well. The authoress has narrated all stories wisely. There are some errors like grammatical mistakes and punctuation mistakes in this book. Apart from these errors, all stories are meaningful. The errors can be overlooked. I like the way how she has narrated all short stories. Each story carries a message. All stories are mainly related to our society, our day to day life, young generation and love life. You can learn some lessons from this book. Moreover this book can inspire you.
About the Story: With 8 short stories co-relating with general issues, the authoress has managed to keep the love intact throughout the book. Not just she has done the characterization in a perfect way but has also described different emotions precisely.
Writing & Narration: The writing & narration part have been done quite gracefully. Be it explaining situations or describing characters, everything is on-point. However, it is the editing that brings a bit of drawback. Enhancement of the story could have been done with proper editing.
Title & Cover: Title & cover both relate well with the story and the theme.
Pros: Interesting story Perfect characterization Basic and understandable language Cons: Grammatical errors My Verdict: As there are 8 different stories in this book, personally, I liked the Guardian Angels and Immortals the most. A perfect read for a weekend. You can give it a try once.
"That's a Heart: Handle with care" by Priyanka Bansal is a short book including few stories related to life. The cover of the book is minimal as well as pretty. The title suits the cover and stories in the book. There are stories in the book showing how life changes from few incidents and how everything gets in its place amidst everything seems to fall. The stories are related to love, heartbreaks, relationship, friendship, and life. Each and every story has its beautiful ending which I loved the most. The language used in book is fluent and easy to understand. The characters were well plotted. The grammar used was simple. And needless to say there were no erros or typos in the book except the word "is" should be replaced by the word "his" in the chapter "The last quest". Here the word is located first page of the same chapter on line 8th and word is at 4th number. It was nice read. Recommended to my fellow reader friends.
This is the collection of amazing 8 short stories. Every story and its character portrayal are unique in their own way. Authoress manage to portrayed every character and every scenario perfectly. “That’s a Heart: Handle with Care”: Impressive title gives a hint about the stories. Very sweet cover image of letter coming out from the post cover and heart shape drawn on it. It’s just as sweet as the stories inside the book. I liked them all. But the first one the story of rinnie and dhruv. I loved the character of Rinnie as it is quite relatable to me. How she believed in lord Ganesha and she used to keep idol of Ganesha with her. Apart from it every story has some unique content and message. Nicely written with simple language. I liked her narration style. It’s my first experience to read her book. And I would like to read more from this authoress.
An amazing collection of seven short stories. This collection is full of love , longing and positivity. The stories are set in background of our day to day life and the different aspect of relationships. You can find a deep insight of human psychology with a hint of humour.

First of all a huge thanks to the author for pointing out the book and her amazing work towards me. I loved the book for its ability to compile multiple romance stories into one and do so in a very effective and impressive manner
One of the things that impressed me about the book is that how in a short span it was able to wrap up stories that usually form the basis of an entire romance book.That’s a heart is a compilation of some of the most heartfelt romantic stories but told in a simple, quick and easy to absorb narration
The book is for anybody who is looking for effective and quick reading and yet to want to be part of something fun, warm and absolutely efficient in pulling all the right kind of emotions
The narration, language and the flow of the book makes it a worth while pick. It is quick and doesn’t demand much of your time. That is the reason why it is perfect.
