Love is a river. It springs spontaneously from the lofty hearts and makes its own way to unite with its generous reciprocators.

At times, it becomes dry and seeks the abundance of a big-hearted lover. In other scenarios, the river gets frozen and looks for the warmth of a passionate soul. And in some cases, it may just be ready and waiting to leap forth from its humble abode. All it takes is just a little stroke of fate for that river to unleash itself and flow in its full glory.

‘Unleash That River’ is an anthology of seven short stories of love and contemporary romance that explores the various twists and terrains the heart goes through at various stages of life. The themes of the stories range from first love and young adult romance to love through arranged marriage as well as second chances.

Unleash that river by Dhaval Rathod is a collection of seven short and interesting romantic stories ranging from first love, young adult romance to love from arranged marriage as well as second chances. Pretty cover and the intriguing title were enough to encourage me to pick this book. Each story in this book is unique and portrays a different aspect of love and relationships. The development of plot and characters is really charming.

My personal favourite was “Madly in marriage.” The story is a good example of how sometimes we hate certain things due to our prejudices and don’t see a good fortune which is carried with them. “Add tea between two eyes” and “car with a tick” from “Immeasurable noun” were certainly fantastic concepts.

The book is written in simple and understandable language. The narration style is good enough to keep the reader engaged throughout. Stories are so close to reality and easy to connect with. Overall it was a light and relaxing book and good for a one-time read. I recommend this book to all who love to read short stories. This book can be a good companion on a short journey.

MY RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
