Review
One of the best books you would ever come across. The author is a born storyteller whose books top the bestsellers and her writings continue to inspire many.About The Secret Wish List, Captivating story line, realistic characters, a kind of narration that is bound to transport you to exotic locations, makes you feel heart warming true and deep friendship and care, an insight into the existence of few robotic humans.This is a story of how the protagonist Diksha gets to live a life of her choice after succumbing to parental/ society's pressure for over 18 long years. The story focusses on living rather than merely existing. The climax might not be so conservative but it sure is a feel good, happy ending.Do fill in the blanks and give life to your wishes --Harini on 14 Jun 2013A very good attempt..
