Grievances Of Life by Shilpa Pitroda

1.0

My rating : 0.6/5

Grievance of life had three short stories.
‎One was about finding out about a boy's life's shocking truth. Second story was about the boy and his lost love.
And third about a heart breaking betrayal.
‎ A boy lives in a boarding school, where his divorced parents come to visit him sometimes. He kind of feels that he isn't part of the family. After the sudden death of his father he finds out the bitter truth about his father through his mother.
‎. Second story was about a boy who falls in love with a girl via social media and who was going to meet her in Goa. After making a big fuss about going Goa with his mother, he decides to sneak out of the house and goes to Goa. But life doesn't want them to be together.
I don't even want to mention the third story.
‎ I didn't get any message from the story though. Maybe it wants to convey, "sometimes moving on is for the better"?
‎I don't know if the book was supposed to be a light read, or what?
Author tried to give a message but failed miserably. Not gonna recommend this book.
