Almost Perfect, but Mostly Not : A Collection of Short Stories by Vasudha Sahgal

5.0

Almost Perfect, but Mostly Not by Vasudha Sahgal is a debut collection of fourteen short stories exploring love, loss, revenge, and longing.

The narratives are beautifully imperfect, just like life. Instead of reviewing each story, I will highlight my favourites. When Life Gives You Lemons, Write a Novel resonated with me as it reflects the relatable urge to turn life experiences into stories.

Six Feet of Separation portrays the gap between the love we desire and receive. The Life of Three teaches the futility of revenge, while Natasha’s Nod to Her Normal masterfully twists a dark reality into an inspiring tale of acceptance.

Vasudha Sahgal’s writing balances emotion with irony, making even hard-hitting themes relatable. Her unique storytelling style is captivating, and I eagerly await more from her.

This collection is perfect for fans of short stories or anyone seeking heartfelt, thought-provoking narratives. Highly recommended!
