EXPLORE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SEXES IN TWO HILARIOUS SHORT STORIES WITH THE SAME PLOT TWIST!
Genre: Fiction/Humour/Short Story
Pages: 21
Format: Kindle eBook
Price: 49 INR/$0.99
My Rating: 4.4/5
Mr. Malik and Mrs. Lalita Kothandapani are both senior citizens enjoying a fixed routine that involves using technology for keeping in touch with family and friends, and for occasionally surfing Facebook. When they get tagged in a photo that was clicked at a social event they attended, it garners likes and comments leading to some surprising, confusing, and hilarious consequences.
What I liked about the book:
- Both the lead characters are easily the most lovable we might come across. Their simplicity, confusion and being at a loss on how to use tech and social media makes us recall every senior in our life, right from our parents to uncles and aunts.
- I liked how the author has included almost every contemporary problem/issue. On one hand there’s the mundane routine of seniors and then there’s also something as burning as the #MeToo movement.
What I did not like about the book:
- Because we already know the plot twist after reading the first story, the second story becomes a tad dull and boring.
