As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti

3.0

As You Wish had a fun, unique plotline that made me care for the outcome of its protagonist. All residents of the town of Madison have one wish to make on their 18th birthday, so long as it doesn't affect the world outside city lines. I can't say I've read another book with this premise, so I was intrigued (and pleased) with the outcome of the story. I definitely think this is worth a read in terms of a skimmable YA fiction novel, however, the two things I wanted to note as detractions were: 1) the main female side character more than once invoked and described Mormonism as the motivation behind her entire person, making me feel like I was reading an advertisement for the religion and not a character's own beliefs and 2) none of the characters were super likable. As I said, it's worth a read, but it's groundbreaking.
