An intense and suspenseful read. Made me wish it was longer. Looking forward to more from Esha.

I found the writing style to be very interesting. Like a monotone yet the heaviness in the voice will keep you glued you to the book. A woman abandoned. Why? Will she ever find out why her partner left her? It's a very short read and you will finish it in one go but that does not mean that when you close the book, the story is over. It's then that your brain starts churning. Questions like why were this topic even in a short story. My mind started conjuring images of what could have happened. One thing that this book lacks is the play around with emotions. The author has touched abandonment to realization without even once changing the voice of the narrator. Punctuated with a few scattered dialogues, this book kept me glued till the end.

Harsh As It May Actually Sound Compared To Death Of A Loved One Vanishing Into Thin Air Can Be Far More Excruciatingly Painful As Death Brings About Final Closure But Going Missing A Shroud Of Uncertainty Prevails Haunting Those Left Behind Not Knowing What Lies Around The Next Corner.

Nice coffee shot
Excellent coffee shot. Enjoyed it like a double espresso. Rather say, a Turkish coffee, where the last sip is bitter and hits on the head.
Congratulations. Keep it up.
