THE UNKNOWN LIVES: TALES OF UNTAMABLE LOVE, DECEIT, STRUGGLE AND VICTORY

I received a book recently which is called, "THE UNKNOWN LIVES: TALES OF UNTAMABLE LOVE, DECEIT, STRUGGLE, AND VICTORY" written by Pankaz and Manoz. 



BLURB
Can you resist the galaxies of emotions crashing into your heart and ripping your soul apart...

Mallu, a nine-year-old girl had never presumed that her very first journey from the outskirts of Raigarh to Delhi would kill her innocence forever and force her to battle unspeakable fear, anxiety, pain, humiliation, longing and dreadful realities of life...

How far she would go to protect that she believes is still 'SACRED' about her...

A heart in love never sees the obstacles but possibilities and pleasure everywhere,
What would a poet in love will do when he discovers that his beloved had gone to an extremely distant land...somewhere far away...near to the soft edge of endless oceans...

Was it easy for an assassin to pen his feelings before killing himself...?

MY REVIEW
The first thing every reader notices in a book is it's cover💕 title💕 and the blurb💕 respectively.
So, the cover of the book is beautiful 🌟. It has been kept as simple as it can get🌟.
Now, coming to the title of the book, it has been named, "The Unknown Lives: Tales of untameable love, deceit, struggle, and victory.📖
I can't really think of a title more appropriate for this book than this one.
Now, let's talk about the book.
📖So, "The unknown lives" has a collection of 14 short stories.
📖All of them are about different people and how their lives changed in a single moment, just by one wrong decision or no decision they took.
📖All the stories were sent to the Authors in the form of letters.
📖Some unnamed, some named, some with beautiful destinations, some with hurtful endings.
📖It also has a collection of poems that talk about longing for our beloved.
The struggles of a prostitute, love story of a father, life lessons from a coach, letter to a brother.
📖This book will make you imagine all the stories and you will actually feel like you are the protagonist of each and every story.
📖You will then be able to feel the love,  pain, anger, struggle and all the emotions which the protagonist goes through.
📖Also, this is the first book in which I have actually made notes and highlighted every note and quote I would love reading afterward.

RECOMMENDED TO
Avid readers, beginners, poetry and short story lovers. 

MY RATINGS
5 on 5 stars.

Sunshine, it is not always easy to be our best selves in all the situations but you’ve got to start from a certain point, right?

Tell me something, didn’t you smile last night when your whole family was with you last night, enjoying dinner and watching TV while talking about your childhood memories they cherish till date? Didn’t you embrace the wind you felt on your face while riding your scooter? Didn’t it make you smile? Didn’t you cry when you thought about the fact that there might be a few years left for you to live wi...
