The Wish List (Della Galton Novellas Book 4) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 24 ratings

Recently divorced from her control freak husband, Wendy needs a way to celebrate her newly single status. She rediscovers a wish list of ten 'life changing experiences' she once challenged herself to do before she turned 40. With the help of best friend Annette, and the milestone birthday just three weeks away, how many of the items can she actually achieve - and will they enable her to move on?

A light-hearted comedy that'll make you wonder whether dyeing your hair pink isn't such a bad idea after all.

    This had me grabbed from the start. How I felt for Wendy, recently divorced, but still in her mind so under the thumb of her ex husband. Then with the help of her oldest friend she embarks on The Wish List. How she fulfils this is told in hilarious detail that had me laughing out loud. With its true to life characters and Della's usual easy to read style, this had me hooked until the extremely satisfying ending. Don't miss it!

    Wendy has divorced her husband not long before her 40th birthday, and needing a fresh start, writes a wish list - but will she fulfil all those wishes? Her quest leads to her crossing paths with hunky farmer Patrick whom she rather likes - the trouble is, her good friend Annette has a crush on him... This story is fast-paced and easy to read. Della has you rooting for Wendy from the start. Thoroughly enjoyable although the ending came very quickly - I would have liked mean ex-husband Robert to have had more of a comeuppance! A great read.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book. My only complaint it was too short. I loved the humour and didn't want to put it down. I hope there's a sequel to it about the same characters.

    A brilliant story about Wendy who has finally divorced her control freak husband, and with the help of her oldest friend tries to do all the things on her list of "must do before I reach 40" - which is in 3 weeks time .
    What follows is a mixture of hilarity with just enough drama to stop it being saccharine sweet.
    I loved every word and think everyone will.
    As with some of Della's other books, my only complaint is that it wasn't long enough - I read it in one sitting - and I would have liked it Thank you Della.

    Another well written and entertaining novella from Della Galton. It's light hearted and fun - just what you need on the beach, by the pool or in the garden. Enjoy!
