A review by zerp
Her Every Wish by Courtney Milan

3.0

Daisy dreams of opening a shop that caters to working class women's needs, so she enters a contest offering a cash prize for the best business proposal. It's an uphill battle because many people resent the idea of a woman opening a business.

Crash has been treated badly by society for most of his life, but he has a loving family that teaches him ways to ignore the cruelty and follow his dreams. His past business practices wouldn't be considered respectable, but now he is working towards opening a legitimate business.

Daisy and Crash were just beginning a relationship when misunderstandings and unkindness parted them. A few months later, Crash sees Daisy making her business proposal (and how cruelly people treat her). He offers to coach her on how to strengthen her presentation for the final round of the contest.

The cruelty that both main characters have to deal with on a regular basis is heartbreaking (sexism, racism, and classism). But even with all of the negativity, the book ends up being pretty sweet.
