Sweet dreams by Sunny Leone

"Sweet dreams" by Sunny Leone - Predictably, erotica!

This book is published by Juggernaut in 2016 and has 200 pages. This is Sunny's debut venture. 

It's a collection of 12 stories of erotica genre. One can guess that much from the name of author.

The stories are fantasy come true encounters.  The stories have variety in backdrop, if not content. There is a story of a couple who is losing zing in their life after 10 years of marriage. Another one is of an American Indian house wife seducing a 19 year old student. There is a chance passionate encounter in a tailoring shop. There is a story of a terminally ill lady preparing her final resting place with the help of a stranger. There is a tryst in an aeroplane. There is a story of a an Indian bar dancer in New York. The is a story of an overweight girl made fun of by the guy she likes. There is a one night stand at call center. There are teenagers who, surprisingly, don't have sex. Story of a peeping tom divorcee lady and the handsome neighbour she watches secretly. There is even a ghost love story. A story of an executive and a masseuse. 

At times, author suggests that couples discover love through sex. In some stories it's just sex, just fling. In some cases sex is combination of love and in some it's the start of love. Most of them are one time encounters. Little love and lot of passion.

3-4 stories are narrated by Male narrator. All other stories are narrated by female protagonist.

The stories are ok. Some even unrealistic like tryst in aeroplane. Some stories are outright shallow. Author had a chance to make some of the stories meaningful, more than carnal pleasure. But author mostly squandered the opportunities. 

The writing style is good. There is no mention of a co- writer,  so it's a good debut effort. Don't look for literary value in the book. Just that it's one of the very few erotic Indian books.

When I first came across this book, I was surprised. I did not know that Sunny was a writer. So I picked it up.

Why did I read this book? Curiosity about Sunny's writing. 

What I didn't like? Shallowness

What did I like? Erotica in Indian literature.
