It's All in the Planets

Although this is a romance, I love that she dealt with issues that affect every couple. I prefer this to the "perfect" romance novels. Many times, we have all known a Trisha or have suffered like Aniket. I also loved the themes of parent/ child relationship and fitness.

As I say not sure it's all in planets but Preeti shenoy told a great passionate modern love story or relationship with grace.One scenes are shown in Ankit n Nidhi perspectively, I felt it really nice. On one situation women n men thinks differently and it's clearly shows in this book. A started thinking about Manoj n Trish angle as well.. Made me to think a lot.Finally I really enjoyed it. Completely very fast as I targeted tomorrow but ended today only..

good for a quick non complex read...

Simple yet captivating..The only second book which i completed in one go....The character of Nidhi is highly appreciated and the way she get a support from her family..wish all parents be like that towards their children

yeah.. this is a good one. Writing style is different and I loved that. I will rate more if the storyline was much stronger.

A wonderful quick read. Deals with relationships and its challenges, love and matters of heart. Loved it. Love is beautiful.

It’s All In The Planets is my first book by Preeti Shenoy. I have been following her for quite some time, in fact, I already have her other book, The One You Cannot Have and have not got round to reading it so I was determined to read this one. Yet to get around to the second one…..I liked the story, the premise and the main characters. The story has a good flow and enough twists and turns that kept me interested. The fun things they did along their journey and the surprise package of the smart stepmom was very refreshing and a step away from the stereotypes.Aniket is really an average Joe. Nothing unusual there except the effort and dedication he was putting in to save his relationship. He tries and tries but fate had something else in store for him.The stunning girlfriend Trish who was too hot to be his in the first place is quite obviously penned in shades of grey and selfishness. That she lives up to is a bit sad, especially since she cannot even defend herself. She was conveniently out of the story – a bit too obvious. Her true colours are revealed and it only makes us feel worse for Aniket.The girl next door, Nidhi, the sweet, pretty and totally confused about the one she loves or not. She just clicks with Aniket on a train journey and slowly they become friends. Nidhi is quite settled professionally but her personal life is a mess. She blogs about it and a lot of ‘feelings’ on her blog – quite relevant in today’s time of ‘my life on social media’. That she is emotional and comfortable in it is what I liked most about her. If only she expressed herself more.Her fiancée, Manoj is a selfish prick. He is painted in the colours of a self-centred man, one who is prone to arm twisting. He is unapologetic, a bit sadistic and quite a reflection of the kind of men we should be giving a wide pass.I found it a bit odd that except Aniket and Nidhi all the other people except Tara are either too good or too mean or too selfish. I think Aniket’s Dad was the only well-balanced character I found in the book. Even Nidhi’s father was somewhat ok. Tara and Nidhi are the best of friends in spite of the fact that Nidhi has her own friends. This is a fresh change indicative of changing times. The novel does have a fresh feel of our times today.The language is fine, typical of how the average Indian talks. In fact, Preeti Shenoy’s writing had me remembering #ChetanBhagat many times with her similar, very ‘Indian’ writing. Now I know why she is one of the most popular female writers in India. Having said that I found this book has a lot of clichés and is quite obvious from the beginning. Sad, especially when Preeti had so many characters and could have taken it to a different level.It is a decent, simple read – good time pass with a few good nuggets of wisdom passed along the way.© Inderpreet Kaur Uppal

Preeti Shenoy is Indias biggest bestseller in fiction and has got young India reading more Women's Fiction/Chick Lit. I only found out about her work with a bit of research. As I am branching out to new genres and authors I thought why not?Astrology and how relationships are crucial is central to this book. The narration is fast paced and I really enjoyed that. An easy read that you could take on your travels or even get you out of a reading slump.I find that I could relate to every character and I know someone just like them. The cover is beautiful too. I also feel that there is room for a sequel!I plan on reading more from Preeti and recommended this book if you're wanting to read Romance novels from an Indian author.

I'm a romantic at heart and so this book was the perfect read.It's funny and light but also fast paced. A lovely ending too!

Why do I even bother to buy her books again and again in hope of reading a good story? It's just the marketing they do but no story they write. It is only the brand name but there is nothing in the book 70% of the book describes what is there in the room background what colour of the wall etc but if we talk about plot it is a simple girl and boy falling in love. Very boring repetitive nothing to read at all. Blogs are better

Guru ji Preeti Shenoy, u are great, how can u write so lively and lovely at the same time ?both are two sides of a coin, yet you strike a chord with present gen relationships with how they are now and how good they can be by showing two completely contrasting case studies, lovely narration from 2 different perspectives, it creates a wholesomeness to the reader, giving a complete and clear picture of understanding from both ends..!And one more small request madam, it's really hard to believe that true love is still in existence, yet u portray it so beautifully, being single, I feel sick to read it, some numbness creeps over me, and I strongly believe that true love isn't just hard to feel, but really hard to find, if at all in existence still today..!There's no doubt u are a relationship expert, maybe u might be having a good future as a relationship coach too Preeti ji...!Keep writing and giving us some wonderful literary works..!
