Review: The Measure of a Man: Stories of 2017 - February Edition

The Measure of a Man: Stories of 2017 - February Edition The Measure of a Man: Stories of 2017 - February Edition by Sharath Komarraju
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Loved the short and sweet tales of love, especially the month being February, the month of love.
When I stated reading these love-stories, I anticipated some Mills & Boon type love-stories. But it turned out beyond my expectation. These stories are of a different taste.
I personally loved most "A Coffee Date". It strikes a cord deep within me. It's the story of a divorcee woman, who finds love after her first marriage is over. The story so convincingly depicts that there can be a second chance in love.
In "The Measure of a Man", the girl in love watches her fiancee change a lot over the course of time. He is no longer the man she fell in love with and she must decide whether she wants to continue the relationship.
"Happy for You" is a story of friendship, rather than of love, where an ex-couple decide to continue their friendship.
In "The Other Man", an old grandmother confesses her love for a person other than her husband. She never confessed her love to the man she loved. They lived in a different time. A heart-touching feeling of love emanates from the story.
"Rendezvous" is the story of a couple who have become parents recently and their efforts to re-ignite the passion in their relationship.

Adult, matured readers will surely enjoy these love stories.
