How I came to know about this book:

Siddharth and I were co-authors in an anthology, and I had read one of his stories there, which I really enjoyed. That made me curious enough to grab his book.

What the book is about :

"Four Dimples and a Blush" by Siddharth Sen is a collection of 8 short stories centred around the theme of love. 

What I have loved about the book :

The stories are simple and easy to read, capturing the essence of pure love through various relationships and life situations. An innocent charm runs through the collection, adding a pleasant, heartwarming quality to the reading experience.

What I felt could have been better :

However, the stories remain at a surface level, lacking the depth that could make them truly thought-provoking or emotionally resonant. As a result, it can be challenging to connect with the characters on a deeper level. Given that love is inherently tied to strong emotions, the book could have benefited from a more nuanced exploration of its emotional aspects.

Why one should read or not read this book:

"Four Dimples and a Blush" is an enjoyable read for those looking for something light and uncomplicated. It's a good choice when you have limited time and want a quick, minimalistic literary experience without diving into complex narratives.
