This is a collection of three short “turns out..” stories, which are moderately entertaining. If you have a coffee ready and 20 - 30 minutes to kill, try this.

Short, intense and brilliant, Just Another Day by Piyusha Vir is a collection of three short stories that chronicle the little and big things that can happen in a day that completely turn around a person’s life–from something as shocking as a murder, to a hot new neighbour. We hear these stories through the “mindvoice” of the protagonists, and are firmly placed in the time and space they occupy. This elicits a great deal of empathy from the reader, which is essentially what a well-crafted story does. In Writer’s Circle, Piyusha Vir gives us a rare treat–a complex female protagonist that one would love to hate! In Happy Birthday, Saisha, the reader knows what is coming, but is locked in, unable to stop reading. Elevator Tales in comparison is a cutesy love story, but with twist at the end which will make you want to read it again. The language is clean and sharp, and the pace keeps one hooked. A quick read, that packs in a surprising amount of wow!
