BOOK : THE HEART IS FRAGILE
AUTHOR : PRITI YADAV
RATING : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

THE HEART IS FRAGILE by PRITA YADAV is a collection of 20 beautiful stories.Every story is unique in its own way and has something important to take away from it.All these srories revolve around certain bonds and relationships.There is potrayal of how some bonds break or get ruined by silly misunderstandings and lack of communication.

The story i liked the most was the last story,HOW TIMES CHANGED.I found the emotions and the flow of story very relatable and hence i could vibe with it.I am sure majority of people will be able to relate to it.

HOME OR HOUSE and ALOE PLANT were the stories that really touched my heart.

The story,DO YOU BELIEVE IN KARMA made me feel nostalgia as she cycled to her school daily.I too did the same with my friends and i loved how the author presented it.

Overall the author has done an amazimg job in all the stories.The description was well done and the language was lucid.It is a life lesson book and every person must read it.A short and worth read.

: This one is a collection of 20 short fine stories; where the author has tries to point out various sensitive topic of the society such as dowry, middle class family's shiny dreams with pale hands, the destiny, bond with the nature , woman issues and all.

Really worth reading those are. Each and every story has something interesting stored within and invokes the readers mind to give it a deep thought after finishing the one.

The cover could have been better. Otherwise the stories are really perfect and portrayed ravishingly by using rich language

There are many actually which touched my heart but the one that I really like is namely ' circle of life'. In the story the author has depicted the role of destiny in our life. The things that we posses we must adore it no matter it's a small or big . This very thing is well- portrayed by the author with a beautiful crafted story. Worth reading

Brilliantly shows how delicate our heart and emotions are

While reading the book the one thing that strike me is that we all humans are dealing with our own emotional baggage. Sometimes its about a relationship with Mother which you didn't appreciate untill you lost her, sometimes being a part of broken family, and sometimes misunderstandings between friends that ruins everything. We often lose people due to lack of communication and understanding. This book is a collection of short stories which touches various points or emotions in human life.
I liked the easy flow yet deep stories that the author wrote.
I shall recommend this book because it's really a good collection of some meaningful stories.

The Heart is Fragile- Prita Yadav

Ratings: 4/5⭐
Genre: Short Stories
Number of Pages: 97
Format: Kindle
Publication date: 22nd September 2020
Publisher: Flipping Pages

The Heart is Fragile is a collection of 20 heartfelt short stories woven by understanding of fragile threads of human emotions and relationships. The stories don’t focus on just one relation or emotion but ranges from parent-child bond to friendships to lovers to husband wife. Not just that it also has some really unique stories about how we get so emotionally attached to some of the things we own like our vehicles or maybe even a sort of connection we feel with different plants.

I liked the stories a lot as all of them had a thought-provoking end that really made me sit back and wonder what I would have done if I were in the shoes of the character. The language is very easy and lucid and can be picked up anyone. I can even recommend this book to the ones who want to start reading something or are in a reading slump. However, I feel the cover wasn’t much appealing to me and could have been much better.

The best part of short stories is you can read them anywhere on the go. I didn’t even realize when I had finished reading the book, it was so smooth and short a read. I suggest you all to check out this book once.

THE HEART IS FRAGILE is a fictional book but the stories are self help containing fictional characters with meaning, life changing perspectives which is really impactful and will definitely inspire everyone and no one could get bored while reading this book.

This book has collection of 20 short stories which will motivate everyone at the same time heartwrenching and will definitely make you sad but help you to learn a lot of thing from this book.

The things I loved in this novel is Author has fabulously talked about mother and daughter's relationship which was really impressive ,the bond between father and daughter , Marriage , Dowry and all the small things which really matters in our life .

It is really appreciable that the author has tried to throw light on this issue and has presented it very well in the form of short story.

The author has fabulously mentioned each story and societal norms through her elegant writing which has engaged the reader throughout the stories while she used simple language which is understandable for beginners too.

The cover is perfectly relatable to the story and one can finish this book in a short period.

A short story is something which keeps our mood fresh with its constant pace and never so long description. This is also not an exception in the realm of short stories. The author, just to make the reader stick to the main plot did a great job in formulating the stories. I loved all the small detail about every story and that every story is taken from real-life incidents. The stories are short and sweet with some crucial issues of life and society at large.
After reading the book carefully I am giving the review and I must say if you don't like reading long written books and you are bored with all the same Murder Mystery everywhere you peek. Just go for this book. I am making this review short and simple because that's what a person can do when he is content with the writing so much. A long review explaining every description of character makes the review merely a blurb and also assassinates the excitement of the reader. So here is a treat from my side for all the future reader of the book. I surely can say that the writer has some enormous insight.

My review- This book contains a total of 20 short stories.Every story has a hidden and meaningful lesson in it such as in the 2nd story i.e. "House or Home" a son who can't do anything to fulfill the wish of her mother which is to buy a house for her , somehow manages to buy a land for her deathbed. This story is very very emotional.
Some of the Titles are " Good mom Bad Daughet" , "My Single Dad" , "How times change".
Every story is linked with an emotion be it love , anger, sorrow regret and many more. Every story is totally different from each other yet a common lesson which revolves around the whole book is that we all should have a habit of talking and sharing problems to our closed ones. Sharing our thoughts and problems can solve a lots of issues and misunderstandings. Overall this is a very nice book . I would recommend this to everyone.

The heart if fragile by Prita yadav is a stunning book comprising of 20 shirt stories. All of these are romantic stories and talks about various battles in a relationship.

The best part about the book is that it breaks the stereotype that all is fair in love and war and the concept of happily ever after. One should have their priorities sorted and then enter a relationship.

The book also talks about women's problems, their lives and priorities and how one should handle problems in a relationship.

A short but very classy read!!

🌠 'The Heart is fragile' by Prita Yadav is a collection of 20 short stories that talks about some of the very delicate issues of our society. Each story gives us an deeper insight to human lives belonging to different backgrounds
💌
🌠Some stories are very motivating which states the fact that there are even mamy bright aspects behind every drakness that hovers over our life.
I liked the fact how the stories trys to throw light on human behaviour, their hypocrisy and orthodox believes.
Each story revolves around a basic topic or attribute like Karma, Misunderstanding, Judgemental Society, Patriarchy, Adultery and Love .
💌
🌠Inspite of the fact that the niche behind each story was very heart touching still I felt some stories to be half baked and failed to leave any impact on me but still it was a worth read afterall.
✨Stories that I loved reading are ~
💫The progressive Guy - This story depicts that though we want our society to progress and be open minded still we come in terms with the fact when we see someone like that
💔
💫• 50 Trips Around The Sun This story though seemed to be a hilarious one still imparts some really deep perception about our patriarchal society
💔
💫• My Single Dad - This one was a really heart touching story where a daughter plan's for a trip for her father leading to nostalgia and some deep truths that was unknown to her till then.
💔
💫• A Housewife's Lockdown - A perfect father and a perfect son failed to be a good husband . Indulging himself in numerous extra marital affairs ends up losing his beloved.
💔
🌸I would like to reccomend this book to everyone who loves to explore different types of stories
Very Lucid language and simple narration makes it an easy grip for beginners.🌸
