Strange Girls and Ordinary Women is a novel on interconnected stories of three women - one having an extramarital affair, a call girl, a woman protective about her male friend and finds in due course of her friendship the truth of her feelings.
The book drags a bit and some parts are predictable.
While reading some questions kept ringing back in my head - Why do stories about women always tell about suffering, heartbreak and injustice? Where are the women who can have fun and skip around? Where's the 'bromance' like stories of women bonding? I am not complaining here but speaking out thoughts. Of course there's room for all kinds of experiences here but are books truly a reflection of the real state of things? Has fiction become nonfiction in today's times?
