Hey Sis! Hey Bro!

posted on February 3, 2026

It's been such a long time since I read a collection of short stories! Hey Sis! Hey Bro! by Deepa Agarwal was a fun read, bringing together a range of stories featuring brothers and sisters, or, as the subtitle says, celebrating the sibling bond. From mythology to historical fiction and realistic fiction, I enjoyed the variety of tales brought together by a common theme.Each story in the collection is just the right length, giving us a snippet of a sibling relationship. I like the nuances portrayed, the mixture of love and hate, the pettiness and grandeur of the emotions between siblings, as well as the messiness of growing up. Competitiveness and collaboration, hope and despair--all these find their way into this light-hearted, easy to read collection.TitleHey Sis!
