As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti

2.0

The concept drew me into this book. A small town in the Mojave Desert that has a cave that grants wishes when someone turns 18. I love to have magical realism in my stories. I also loved the concept of going around asking others what they wished for and how they feel about it. As a historian this oral history of sorts really interested me. What ruined the book was the boarish main character who was egotistical and self-loathing the entire time right up until he took his selfish wish. The parts I loved saved this from being a two star rating.
