This is the second in series after Right Fit Wrong Shoe, and this book was also a very enjoyable read. If you're a person who enjoys sweet romance with a guaranteed happily ever after, you'd definitely love this book. The story of a single mother Sneha who finds her HEA despite a painful past, this fiction talks about her little, love story with Nikhil. While most books talk about boy meets girl and how they lived happily ever after, this book is realistic. Sometimes marriages don't work, there's abuse, followed by depression. But, what's encouraging is that the author has shown there can be happiness even after a failure, and one relationship does not define a person's entire life. As usual, the narration and style was breezy and very enjoyable. Loved this book, deserves a five-star.

Sneha is a hard-working single mom, living in Mumbai with her little son, Advey. Her best friend forever, Nandini, newly married and deliriously happy, is busy trying to arrange blind dates for Sneha. Sneha ends up the guinea pig for Nandini’s experiments in getting her hitched, at almost party that she throws.
Nandini is married to Aditya Sarin, an industrialist, and is currently working in his organisation to find out what works for her. Sneha is busy juggling her career and her son, supported by her help, Amla. Their friendship goes way back, and they have been together through all sorts of trouble. Both of them are very protective towards the other. Now, all that Nandini wants is for her friend to have the same sort of bliss that she shares with Aditya. Sneha’s ordered life goes up in the air when she comes across Nikhil, with whom she shares some unpleasant history. And he doesn’t come alone, he comes with Aditya’s ex-fiancee Gayatri, who, apparently, is still hung up on Aditya.
Before she knows it, Sneha is in the middle of all sorts of chaos. Nandini and Aditya’s marriage seems to be unraveling, Hers and Nandini’s friendship seems to be history, and the only person who can help her is Nikhil. Nikhil who can’t stand her, Nikhil, who, she will do anything to avoid. They need to forget their history and egos, if Nandini and Aditya’s marriage has to be saved. Of course it doesn’t help that Sneha ends up in places where she has no business being, only to add to the complications.
A light and fun read. Perfect if you want to leave your brains behind and read. A Mills and Boon sort of romance, with a few additional twists thrown in. And all that goes with tales of this sort, two people with incredible chemistry, but seem to rub each other the wrong way. Sneha and Nandini’s friendship was something I really enjoyed reading about. That added some freshness to the tale. The twists and turns were, well, predictable, but the book is quick-paced, so you don’t really get bored. The background tale of the antagonism between Sneha and Nikhil was rather tame as well, and in some ways a little disappointing. The descriptions were very stereotyped. I mean, can someone tell me what exactly hooded eyes are? Of course, all the men were gorgeous and super rich. The amount the characters curse, was, a bit of a put off, for me, but then, that’s just probably me.
The one place it was surprisingly not stereotyped was Sneha, with her independence, and her need for speed, was a welcome change from the usual stereotypes. So was Nandini’s expectations from her marriage. It gave the book, the much-needed depth. In fact, I wish the book had explored more of these, it would have been a little more interesting, in my opinion. As such the book has more of the chemistry between Sneha and Nikhil than anything else. Although, It might work well for a younger/different audience, I suppose.
A light, quick read, perfect for a light afternoon read or a holiday read, when all you want is something nice and light.

Disclaimer: I received a paperback of this novel from the publisher via The Book Club in return for my honest review.
This is the third book that I am reading by Varsha Dixit, the other two being OnlyWheat Not White and Right Fit, Wrong Shoe. All three books are beautifully written romances.
#WMRE is the second in a series, though each book can be read as a standalone. The first one, #RFWS, is the story of Nandini and Aditya that ended in a “Happy Ever After” marriage. Sneha, who is the heroine of the second book, was introduced to readers in the first book, as Nandini’s friend. We knew Sneha was married with a baby boy.
#WMRE is set in Mumbai where Nandini AKA Sethani lives with her billionaire businessman husband Aditya Sarin in a penthouse. Sneha has also shifted to Mumbai with her little son Advey and lives in a tiny apartment along with Amla, a maid who lives with them, taking care of Advey and their home. Sneha is divorced and works for the Sarins nowadays.
Spoiler warning from here on...
Nandini’s primary objective is to find a suitable guy for Sneha and she keeps setting up blind dates during the lavish parties the Sarins keep throwing in their palatial home. Unhappy about the set up but unable to do much about it, Sneha endures her best friend’s matchmaking attempts stoically. It’s during one of these attempts that Nikhil Chandel walks back into her life. Yeah, she used to know him many years ago.
Sparks fly! But both Sneha and Nikhil are at constant loggerheads. Until a common thread brings them together, to save Nandini’s and Aditya’s marriage.
I enjoyed this book even more than #RFWS. This one is better proofed for one thing. For another, the story flows better. I enjoyed reading about the HEA relationship between Nandini and Aditya. However a story ends, the reader likes to know what happened after the marriage and that’s what Varsha Dixit has brought into this story.
Aditya’s ex-fiancée Gayatri’s character has been built well. So was Nandini’s new friend Mona, the vamp’s. Amla is a quirky character and adds fun to the story.
The romance between Nikhil and Sneha takes time to build up, but the waiting is worth every page of the book. The author is quite an expert at writing love stories, I must say. I am looking forward to reading the third book in the series.
I guess it’s the story of Gayatri, Aditya’s jilted fiancée. Wondering...

I received a free copy through TBC in exchange for an honest review. This doesn't affect my review in any manner.
I haven't read the first book, Right Fit Wrong Shoe so I wasn't familiar with the characters when I started the book. This can be read as a standalone but I think you will have more fun if you know the background and have read the first book. I, for one, connected with the characters easily.
The author had done a great job with the story and the characters. Sneha was a strong character. She was sassy and feisty. I never saw the twist coming about her past. She never gave the vibe of being a victim. But I could totally understand her reluctance to get involved again. Nikhil came across as a cold person at the start. But after awhile he softens and then I got to see the 'proper' hero - protective, sexy with a dry humour. Nandhini and Aditya play vital roles in the romance with their meddling in Sneha's affairs. Advey was a cute distraction while Amla was the highlight with her attitude. Mona, Gayathri and Alisha made the perfect villains of the story with their tricks and arrogance.
The story flowed well with the scenes meshing seamlessly with each other. The pace was fast and it was a very quick read inspite of being 300+ pages. There were a few twists in the plot which kept me on my toes. The romance aspect was done well with the sexual tension palpable between the protagonists. There were a few situations which felt cliche but overall they were funny rather than irritating. The hindi phrases added colour to the story and Sneha's mispronunciation of curses was hilarious.
In short, Wrong Means Right End was a mixture of a funny romance and a teary sentimental tale with a tone of Bollywood. I can even see myself re-reading it in the near future.
My rating : 4.5/5

Liked rfws better (:

Stuck in the traffic jam of Mumbai traffic, I finished this e-book in one sitting. Certainly it explains if it's interesting enough. Jokes apart!
This is the second book in the series by the author and certainly kept me hooked as the first book.
It's a story of nikhil and sneha who meet again after an embarrassing past experience and surely cannot see each other in the eye ( it's a ekta kapoor eshtyle rom-com after all)
In an effort to save the marriage of sneha's best friends aditya and nandini that is being jeopardized by Nikhil's cousin, their paths meet and how.
Her writing is crisp, adept in describing the characters and their personalities vividly. She has also made way for songs in between through literal interludes, lest the story can be turned into a karan johar saga with magnummous locations, crying heroine, dashing heroes and gorgeous heroines.
The story is interesting, with a good dose of collequil cuss words, jokes and references.
The part between sneha and her son is sure to warm your heart.
In all, if you like to read a good rom com on a lazy rainy day, it should top the list.

A wholesome entertainment at its humorous best!
Every time I pick Varsha’s book I know I am signing up for a wholesome entertainment at its humorous best. . Varsha Dixit pulled me so into the book that the moment Nikhil lost his cool with Sneha I wanted to be next to Nandini to give a piece of my mind to him. I was the happiest when things were wrapping in a happily ever after end credits. The crazy intensity between Nikhil and Sneha and their telepathic conversations were the hearty best.

Wrong means right end starts from where Right Fit Wrong Shoe had ended. Nandini and Sneha, childhood buddies, who have promised to have each other’s back, go to any extent to see her friend happy. Varsha’s first book was full Bollywood masala; so I had expected more of Bollywood songs, titles & scenes, but was disappointed (sigh!)
In the first part of the trilogy, Sneha tries to fix up broken relationship of Nandini and Aditya. In this part, Nandini wants Sneha to get hitched after her divorce. It's nice to read how well Varsha has incorporated characters and plots from her first book. You don’t feel any character has just jumped out from nowhere. Loved the way Varsha has portrayed the characters of Sneha and Nandini as independent, level-headed women who wants to make a mark of their own.
Nandini, inspite of being married to the big Sarin scion Aditya, still wants to make an identity of her and Aditya gives his full support. (Sigh!)
Nikhil, who appears to be arrogant at first, soon develops a soft corner for Sneha and her cute little bundle of joy, Advey. How Nikhil helps Sneha save Nandini and Aditya’s marriage from Aditya’s ex-fiancée and Nihkil’s family friend Gayatri and in the process falls hopelessly in love with Sneha, who like a furious tigress wants to protect her cubs (in this case her bestie and her marriage). Also we come to know of his past and how he wipes away his slate clean before he makes a new start is commendable.
Varsha, loved the way you didn’t make the story end as we may have expected. Just when I thought Nik and Sneha are gonna to be together, you introduced a twist which was mind-blowing. But as they say, all that ends well ends well.
I just can't wait to read the last part of this trilogy.
In short, Wrong Means Right End is a light hearted, romantic, un-put-down-able book. If you like to read romantic stories, have a good sense of humor and just want to laugh till your stomach aches and you fall off from the chair and get tears in your eyes, go grab this book and enjoy three hour of relaxation.

Plot:
Wrong Means Right End picks up from where the first book in the series, Right Fit Wrong Shoe ended. RFWS was the story of Aditya Sarin and Nandini which ended in their marriage. This story focuses on Nandini’s friend Sneha- the heroine of the book.
Sneha is divorced and is staying in Mumbai along with her son Advey and works for the Sarins. A strong and independent woman that she is, though in her struggles, tries her best to move forward in life. And Nandini’s primary aim is to find a suitable match for Sneha. Tadaa! There comes Nikhil Chandel who had made a brief appearance in the first book as well. The arrogant and egoist man, who is smart and caring as well. He captures your attention from the word go!
The book builds up with twists and turns as you also witness the uncanny entry of Gayatri, Aditya’s ex-fiancee.
Whoa!
Of course, the amazing chemistry between Sneha and Nikhil- there is a flicker of love, a gleam of tenderness even when they annoy the hell out of each other.
The friendship between Sneha and Nandini is a refreshing approach to the story and who wouldn’t want a friend like that who can jump through all the hoops for you.
The supporting characters, or may I say the villains of the story- Mona and Gayatri are penned to perfection without any predicament.
Loved how the relationship between Advey and Nikhil progressed along the story.
Ouch!
The editing and language saw a humongous improvement over the first book in the series. But go a little easy on the cuss words, please? It makes you cringe many a times as it is used repeatedly, at a frequent interval.
Do I Recommend?
Yes, I loved this book more than the RFWS. It is entertaining and you can finish it in a sitting. With a tinge of Bollywood and M&B, but who isn’t a romantic?

WRME sort of picks up from where RFWS ended, but focuses more on the life of the recently-divorced Sneha, Nandini's best friend and hugely instrumental in getting Nandini and Aditya together.
Divorced and in a new city, with a little son as her responsibility, Sneha's character is inspiring. She is shown to not be shy of the fact that her life has fallen apart or the lack of money in the life she is building for herself. Her respect for herself and her struggles is real, believable, and certainly not one of those ideal things that can only be preached and not practiced.
Nikhil Chandel, who makes a brief appearance in RFWS, has your attention from the word go (though I think this is one of the those women things ;) ).
A on and off parallel track also deals with the ups and downs Aditya and Nandini face in their marriage, but Varsha has beautifully managed to continue keeping Sneha the star of the story while not taking away from Aditya and Nandini. The balance comes out well.
The twists and turns in the story are slightly Bollywood-ish, but thankfully not over-the-top., so you don't cringe with all the unnecessary drama. Even Mona's character, who is your typical vamp, has been dealt with well so that she brings just the required amount of masala to the story.
The language and the editing, things that are important to me as a reviewer, are good and certainly an improvement over RFWS. It is good to see that Varsha has taken care of the minor details, which go a long way in defining a reviewer's experience.
I only wish she would've come down with using cuss words or the tone of some dialogues between Sneha and Nandini. Most of it made me wince.

Note: This is the second book of a three-book companion series. A companion series is not a continuing series, which means that each book can be read as a standalone. And while these books do work as standalone reads, a fair amount of common, interconnecting threads run through them, which might be lost on people who read only one of these books. Which is why, it might be better to complete the trio, especially if you are someone like me, who needs to know everything about everything.
My Review: This second book Wrong Means Right End centers around the love story of Sneha & Nikhil. This book is completely unlike the first one - in the sense that it is very non-filmy, and is noticeably better on the writing and editing front. Moreover, out of the three female protagonists, Sneha is the one I can most relate to. But ironically, this is my least favorite love story of the three. Go figure!
Of-course this is all relatively speaking, as this one is a pretty neat tale on its own. But I guess by the time I read this, Nandini and Aditya's story (from the first book) had kinda grown on me, and comparatively speaking, I liked that one better. Also the 'conflict' in this book seemed a little contrived to me, so there!
Nonetheless, it was a decent continuation to the series. Read full review

The book belongs to the category of happily ever afters. There’s love, friendship, hatred, hurt, all mixed together in right proportion just the way our lives have it. The story is simple as it goes on the show the importance of friends and love in our lives. It perfectly seems to be a slice of a Bollywood movie.
The characters of Sneha, Nikhil,Nandini and Aditya are very much real and depict all the emotions a human is capable of. You can see the play of human ego ruining things and then love conquering it all. But Sneha can be seen to be doing a little more than what you think is real. Advey holds importance but has hardly any role to play and is often not seen in the importance scenes.
The story however is pretty much predictable and offers nothing new. You already know what’s supposed to happen. So, you just read along as the life of Sneha and Nikhil unfolds. It becomes quite too much dramatic at times and the story also feels stretched with unnecessary events added in between. Narration is the strongest point of the book along with quality of language. The thing that can hold you back is the chemistry between Nikhil and Sneha, their little fights and extreme love at the same time. The bond of friendship shared by Sneha and Nandini will warm your heart and touch your soul. You will surely see a part of yourself and your friendships in the story.
Bottom-Line: A book full of love, friendship and drama.

"Wrong means Right ends" focuses on Sneha, a single mother who lives in Mumbai with her kid. Sneha with the help of her best friend was able to move past her unhappy married life. Meanwhile, she meet Nikhil, with whom she has some past. And together they take vowed to save Nandini and Adi's marriage life.
This book is a quick read and all the incidents and characters will make the page turn. This is my first book from Varsha and she met my expectation level. Varsha Dixit seems a promising author. She has detailed every scene, but didn't exaggerate it.
Things I liked!!!
Well, apart from the strong story line, all characters are well etched out.All the incidents are likable and I relate it to Bollywood also. The writing style is good in terms of describing each and every scenes.
Things I didn't like!!!
As a reviewer, I find some editing flaws and the writing style can be improved a little. I hope she'll overcome these in her next book.
Apart from the flaws, this is an interesting read. All the protagonists, incidents and the story line will never let you keep down the book. This is highly recommended to all romance, Bollywood fans. You'll like its twists and turns. I'll give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

Hatred is the new love for authoress Varsha Dixit. Like the protagonists in the prequel, this books also takes the readers through the love-hate relationship. The incidents in story are more happening and engaging when compared to the sequel. When the Chauvinistic Aditya irritates the readers in the prequel, angry yet soft hearted Nikhil is good to visualize.
Sneha's single mother life is quite inspiring. The headstrong and determined woman she is, her life is sure to impel the female mass.
Sneha's character, which was in the back seat in Right fit Wrong shoes, is the protagonist in the sequel. Nandini's character is involved with deserved importance. The relationship issues of Sneha is not shown in the first book, but in the sequel, Sneha's comes as a single mother. Much details into her dark past is not given. The fights between the lovers or to be lovers seemed repetitive. The pace of the story is also not steady.
Overall the sequel is one step ahead. Looking forward for the third part.

The story is fun to read and beautifully narrated. The language is simple and the flow is good. The story is fast paced and engrossing, I read it till 3 A.M. on two consecutive nights. The chapter titles are different as they were in her previous book. Some scenes have been described so well that it was easy for me to picturise them.
The story takes up where the previous one left off, so the characters are the same and their feelings have been described well. The camaraderie between the characters has been written very well. Nandini and Sneha’s friendship is something which stands out in this book as the previous one. The relationship that Nandini and Aditya share with Sneha and her son has been brought out beautifully. Amla is also a cute and important character in the story. I loved Aditya again, even more than Nikhil, he is such an understanding person. Will this one also have a sequel…..
I have a suggestion for all readers of romance, Read the first book: Right Foot Wrong Shoe and then follow it up with Wrong means Right end and then wait for the sequel.
A must read.

Wrong Mean Right End is the first book that I am reading by Varsha. This can essentially be classified into a romance novel in an Indian context.
The story revolves around the life of Sneha, a recently divroced young mother who moves into a new city and tries to make a life for herself. Sneha works for the Sarin family and hence cannot run away from the lavish parties she is invited to and that is where Nikhil walks into her life. They are at constant loggerheads and may never have come together but to save the Sarins' marriage that was on the brink of falling apart.
Mona the vamp is slightly Bollywood-ish but the story in itself is not too much.
The book is a fun light read and is all about two people who have incredible chemistry but will always end up fighting with each other. There is no time to get bored even if you know the pace of the story as it is not a very long/slow read.

Wrong means right end, had a good story line with interesting chapter titles. The protagonist Sneha, she was strong character with high self esteem, but a bit too loud for my liking. Her childish behavior and instability were confusing at times. But the friendship and understanding shown between Nandini and Sneha was enduring. Surely a well written book, I liked the way the author has concentrated on the particulars like not swearing in front of kids rather using different word for each term which was quite funny but at the same time too much of unnecessary details about clothings' and looks which made it a bit too tedious to read at times, I mean I really don’t care what color clothing they are wearing and how do they look each and every time!! And of course you can definitely find a glimpse of “mills and boons” here and there! Overall a lighthearted and one time read!

2.5 stars.
Bought and read with lot of expectations as I really liked Xcess Baggage (And I look forward to the sequel), but I'm disappointed.
Sneha, the female protagonist, is one of the most immature and irritating fictional characters I have ever come across! I liked the character of Nikhil, the male protagonist, but even he seemed to be distracted and lost the charm towards the end.
Too many (unnecessary) dialogues, and a jumbled point of view scatter the plot. Repetitive feature description (hazel/green eyes, every time!) was irritating. Situations are childish and not at all convincing. Glaring writing/editing errors disrupt the flow.
Yes, I liked the idea of mispronouncing the abuses!

Wrong Means Right End is Aapratim (delightful, superb ) book to read .It is a light read book .This book explores the other side of Sehna with the help of Nandini who is happily married to Aditya and their friendship …when their life turns a big U-turn .Wrong Means Right End is comedy book to be read by each and every individual for leading a healthy romantic life .All the characters in this book have been penned in fantastic way . Ladies would love to read this book mainly because of Nandini who wishes to see her friend settled in all respects .What will steal people′s heart is the way in which cuties Advey calls or address Nikhil as ‘Dad’ .
5 hearts for this book .
A recommended gift to all .

Warning: You will have a grin plastered on your face at all times when reading this book. You will have bouts of hysterical laughter and hoots, so be sure to get ugly looks from family and people around. Dont use the adjectives used for friends in real life, they may not understand and you may loose people :p My second review of Varsha Dixit's book. This one is about the lovely, hilarious, almost real love story and friendships between Best friends.

Book Review: Wrong Means Right End by Varsha Dixit
September 5, 2013
Wrong Means Right End i would say it was just a mix masala bollywood movie. Lot of twist and turns ,lot of emotions crawling up and down. so much drama, fight and climax sceans.
I would not say i hated Sneha but some of her behaviour seriously irritated me .Even with Nikil but he was still amusing , i liked him ;) a arrogant, egoist, bad tempered still smart, romantic and caring :) apart from the charecter , there was not much essence in the story. ploat was weak and the end was predictable.
