The author Babitha KS personally approached me for a honest review of her book Daily Dose of Infatuation and Other Stories It is a collection of 11 short stories each of different genre Some stories are simple straightforward while some are unpredictable The foremost advantage is that no story is similar to another one in terms of plot construction and narration Let me dissect each story and tell you what s good what s not. Adoption This is a simple story of a mother who is abandoned by her family She finds love kindness from strangers The story has a gentle flow and has a heartwarming end It tugs at your heartstrings as it is candid and sincere. Daily Dose of Infatuation A girl working in an IT company has an enormous crush on her fellow traveler However paralyze rob and kidnap people when they least anticipate it However the story takes a harsh turn in the middle I felt that the plot had an artificial tone to it It could have been better. Match Made in Heaven First I must appreciate Babitha for attempting something different This is an unusual love story But sadly it didn t go down well with me Maybe others would like the concept I wasn t thoroughly impressed with the entire idea and the ending. Sweet Escape This story was like applying cold water on a burnt area I liked the tongue in cheek manner of the story But I couldn t fathom how a girl who was confined to four walls found secret love That loophole was left open. Two Weddings A Dog I was very impressed with the title and also with the story I don t own pets yet I could feel a connect with this tale It was so lovable that even a person who doesn t like dogs would form a bond with them Another pick. Victim This was a thumping tale actually I liked every aspect of it It had me on the edge though it isn t a complete thriller This is the first time I have loved a legal story A neat plot with no ambiguity One pick. Wicked Game After a couple of excellent stories I felt this one a bit let down The plot started off well but meandered off track towards the end The climax wasn t much clear and that bogged down the intensity of this simple love story. Zombie Revenge Another cleverly plotted story This had all the elements of a true blue deception story I like any story that has a magician in it Because well they do something mysterious right though they are illusions tricks Loved it Summing up Daily Dose of Infatuation and Other Stories is a bunch of admirable short stories from a debutante What works is the different genres of the stories What doesn t work is the editing Babitha could have hired a better editor as I found many punctuation and sentence construction mistakes.
