Review-
'Love A Little Stronger' is a beautiful and heart warming book which includes 50 short stories of the author, Preeti Shenoy, penned down and shared with us.
The language used is very simple and easy to grasp and imagine the situations. The very first story, My special friend made me want to read this book more. There are life lessons in the stories which have been said by Preeti Shenoy. As I progressed with the book, I felt more personal with the author. Every tale was relatable in some or the other way.
Few of the stories touched my heart. Few of them made me laugh. Few of them made me emotional. And few of them made me want to skip that particular story. The book is full of mixtures. I found 5-6 stories which made no sense to me at all, but may be it would made sense to some other person, after-all all of these stories are the author's personal stories and incidents.
The book is free from any grammatical errors and has a good catch on vocabulary. There are 5 main sub parts -
1. The Parent Trap
2. Life, Love and Laughter
3. Hey Brother!
4. Love a Little Stronger
5. Be the Best You Can Be
Out of these, Love a Little Stronger is my favorite. Especially 'Siblings without rivalry' touched my heart! It show cased a relation of brother and sister so beautifully that a tear almost escaped my eye!
Love for family, mother's and siblings love, the moments which will make you laugh in splits, the moments which brings tears to the eyes, friendship and life lessons is the main focus of all the stories in the book.
After-all, it's all about the little things in life.
