Yes, there are many ...Hi...thanks for your comment!<br />Yes, there are many who have found the story not so refreshing and quite cliche'd as you said. And as I said before "Life is what you make it" is the best work of Preeti so far. <br />There is a list of books I have finished reading and look forward to post reviews on them soon :)Avina Viegashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18358187016002027312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528933419961337004.post-8216044900685660832013-08-22T11:37:41.306+05:302013-08-22T11:37:41.306+05:30Completed this book today and I am first time read...Completed this book today and I am first time reading Preeti's work. Loved your review, but as I already read the book, have to say that the it wasn't great at all. <br />I second Neha, as Sandeep's character is so forcefully made just for a reason that Diksha can have an extra marital affair with Ankit. I liked the starting, but later on it felt so boring and Cliche'd.<br />Also felt this negativity going on through the book so to feel good I started reading "winning" by Jack Welch. :)<br />Anyway I will be awaiting for more reviews from you.MediaSensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927990908788095549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528933419961337004.post-50458135851070985892013-08-12T18:20:35.780+05:302013-08-12T18:20:35.780+05:30Hi Neha, sorry for replying so late.

I have been away from it for a while and there is a list of books that I have read and yet to write a review on it. Will do it soon, your comment has compelled me to do it... :)<br />As for the book TSW, yes, I did feel it was a bit similar to Tea for two and a piece of cake. Preeti's best so far has been "Life is what you make it"...that made me an ardent fan of her writing.<br />Yes, this book was not that refreshing, nevertheless I liked the message the book gives out. Preeti's writing is simple and to the point. <br />About the thought...of how many married women would step out of their marriage..well this totally depends on the mindset and the given circumstance. In today's world I think women are more strong and less submissive as they were in the past (this is quite a topic of debate). And about long lost lovers meeting after a while...well on this you are right...one in a thousand cases or maybe nill...lol...again depends!<br />I happened to jump across your blog and I see your last post was in 2011...you should write more, it is a beautiful feeling to pen down your thoughts, isnt it? Take care, be in touch :)Avina Viegashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18358187016002027312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528933419961337004.post-47527979976762680192013-08-09T02:49:04.210+05:302013-08-09T02:49:04.210+05:30Hello Mam, It is only just now that I finished rea...Hello Mam, It is only just now that I finished reading 'The Secret Wishlist'. I am in a habit of searching the reviews of the book that I read and here I found your blog when I looked for the reviews on TSW. <br />I like Preeti Shenoy's style of writing, simple and yet she never fails to deliver the required emotions to the reader. But this book, was quite a disappointment. I didn't really like the way Sandeep's character is shaped. I wish there was much more edge to it. And It is just a work of fiction, I know. But one thought has left my mind unsettled that how many of married women would actually step out of their respective marriages in India? And if they do how many long lost lovers like Ankit would still be keen to accept his teenage beloved like Diksha with open arms. That's one in thousand cases? <br />Overall, the novel doesn't really leave you with anything relevant to think about, in my opinion. Like Her work 'Life is what you make it' does. It was indeed inspirational. <br />Also, This book to a great extent has similar elements as that of her previous work 'Tea for two and a piece of cake'. Nothing refreshing really. <br />To me it was a disappointment. <br /><br />And yes, I just have had a quick look at your blog, looks really interesting to me. So many suggestions! :')<br />I am so looking forward to read.
