๐ŸThis book is a collection of 20 short stories divided in 4 segments : แดแดœแด› แด๊œฐ แด›สœษช๊œฑ แดกแดส€สŸแด…, ษดแดแด› แด›แดแด ๊œฐแด€ส€ ษชษดแด›แด แด›สœแด‡ ๊œฐแดœแด›แดœส€แด‡, แด€สŸสŸ แด…แดแด‡๊œฑษด'แด› แด‡ษดแด… แดกแด‡สŸสŸ, สŸแดแด แด‡ แด„แดแดแด‡๊œฑ ษชษด แด€สŸสŸ สœแดœแด‡๊œฑ, all these stories have been selected and published in notable competitions and collections and comes with a significant twist as evident from the title

๐ŸThe first part แดแดœแด› แด๊œฐ แด›สœษช๊œฑ แดกแดส€สŸแด…;features paranormal stories that showcase the journey of lives that buzzed with incompleteness due to an untimely demise or cruel turn of fate. "Top of the world" is a story from this segment that deeply touched me.

๐ŸThe second part ษดแดแด› แด›แดแด ๊œฐแด€ส€ ษชษดแด›แด แด›สœแด‡ ๊œฐแดœแด›แดœส€แด‡; is a collection mainly focuses on dystopian and futuristic universe. The inclusion of sci-fi and fiction with very unique qnd thoughtful plotline was very intriguing to read.

๐ŸThe third part แด€สŸสŸ แด…แดแด‡๊œฑษด'แด› แด‡ษดแด… แดกแด‡สŸสŸ; especially focuses on the concept of love and loss and about the twisted play of fate and the misery that comes along that nobody could ever be prepared for.

๐ŸThe fourth part สŸแดแด แด‡ แด„แดแดแด‡๊œฑ ษชษด แด€สŸสŸ สœแดœแด‡๊œฑ; this part was my absolute favourite; I especially loved the story called 'consent' it showed love in its various aspects and beauty and how it could be found everywhere and from anyone.

๐ŸThe thing about reading this anthology of short stories is that we get the blend of varied genres in one book that takes us from one place to another aids in walking in the shoes of one character to other showcasing varied perspectives of their lives. I really enjoyed some of the stories others failed to offer me something new and felt like something I already read before and therefore failed to leave a mark on my mind. Some twists of this collection of twisted tales were very predictable for me. Overall I would recommend this book to beginners who want to have a taste of various genres and different types of stories at the same place. The concept behind each story was simple that can be easily grasped by anyone. Recommend to everyone specially the beginners who wish to try out short stories.
