In YOU WISH by Mandy Hubbard, Kayla is not excited about her sixteenth birthday - at all. Life is not happy right now: her dad has left, her best friend is dating the boy she secretly likes, and her grades are not good.
So when it's time to blow out her birthday candles, she made an impossible wish - for all her past birthday wishes to come true.
Little did she know that the impossible was about to happen! She had to stop the wishes before they all came true, because the one that she made last year was for a certain boy to kiss her. And that boy is now her best friend's boyfriend!
This is a cute contemporary fantasy story. It got me thinking about what would happen if I got all of my birthday wishes. I know that the ones during my teenage years were definitely boy related, but I have no idea what I wished for as a kid.
I really liked Kayla. Reading the back cover, I thought "Oh no - another book about a girl stealing her best friend's boyfriend." But this plot actually worked for me. I also liked the secondary characters of Nicole and Ann. I felt that Kayla and Nicole both grew throughout the story and Ann was just a fun character!
This book was light and fluffy, and I look forward to reading more by Mandy Hubbard.
