Review :
Loves lost is a collection of five short stories that all feature theme of love, lost, betrayal and second chances. Riya she is by far my favourite character of the book. As with any collection of short stories, I enjoyed some more than others and I'm sure that other readers might enjoy some more than I did. And other will enjoy some less. I found all the stories interesting and worth reading and I found the author's style and view point were creative, refreshing and unique. This is very fast read and as such, don't expect same level of characters development and story as with a full length novel. The language of the book is simple and easy to understand. The cover of the book is apt. Overall, enjoyable fast read.
Go for it.
