As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti
4.0
This was great.
The writer created a real sense of place and character. I could genuinely picture the dusty town and didn't feel as if the characters were two-dimensional caricatures of high school teens.
Although the ending was predictable, in terms of Eldon's decision, it didn't lessen the enjoyment of the novel's build up in any way. And there were many moments which caught me off guard.
I'd love to use the book as a class text; I can imagine the hours of rich debate about the ethics of wishing and regrets.
