The Secret Wish List

An excellent and quick read - one day. I really love books on the cultural aspects in novels about India. This is a new author to me, recommended by Renita d'Silva and I will buy more of her books. The book was fast moving and realistic to the situation of the women in conservative India. One one scene I didn't feel was realistic to a conservative woman, even though she was breaking out of that, but don't want to spoil the plot

I liked the novel for its simplicity of language. It narrates well and keeps u engrossed but i feel extra marital affair is exaggerated.. but in the end happy ending and a female protagonist with complicated life, able to solve her life and free herself from stifling marriage.. keeps u engaged !!

She is understands human emotions very well. Some where all of us try to associate with her characters in all her books. I have read other books of Preeti Shenoy , the way she portrays her characters is beautiful.

A good reading and takes one through the wishes one can have hidden somewhere deep and how life can take a turn. Enjoy reading .

Brilliant writing ... Kept me hooked ..finished the book in three hours ... Hats off to u Preeti Shenoy.. I just love reading all your books

The plot, presentation and character development are all basic and lacking depth. There is nothing new in this- neither the story nor the presentation

Very well and easy reading. A different type of story. I'm sure you will love it.

Good book.I've read the author's previous book "Life is what you make it". It was amazing. This book is very good,portrayed Diksha character in the most beautiful way. I was carried away by the book in such a way that I wrote a secret wish list for my life which is giving me hope,happiness and inspiration to me daily.

It was ok

Good piece of writing.. Helps one to believe in dreams and accomplishing them...

All the books of preethi seems to similar. In this book the lead character cheats her husband and finds the reasons to make it justify. The main victim is Sandeep. As theme of book "Go with your heart" is how he was doing in his life. For the compulsion for marriage of her parents at age of sixteen out the mistake she had commited, Unfortunately Sandeep, is the one had to face consequences. Story telling and gripness in screenply is indeed good. Cheating over husband and justifying it.

Preethi shenoy had very good story telling skills. Even though it's a predictable story, she has written it well. I read many negative reviews from guys abt this book. If u treat women cheaply without attention, this is what u get. If u r confident enough that u treat ur women in good way, u wouldn't say this book is not good. Women should have courage like how it is mentioned in this book and speak up. It's never too late. I have rated 3 stars bcos there are some parts wer it gets really boring and I skipped. Salsa class and the trip to Maldives were dragged and unnecessary during that situation in the story. But overall a very nice book. Should gift this to women who are struggling in such married lives.

A very interesting story that would keep you captivated. You would relate to Diksha as a person, woman, wife and mother and what all she has suffered during her life.The author has subtly touched many soft issues that are still prevalent in the country. While there is a lot of despair in the story, there is also a lot of hope.In the end you need to stand up and own your secret wish list too.
