How to Make a Wish by Ashley Herring Blake
5.0
5/5
I want to say a lot of things about this book but I probably won't. I may forget some and others will be to hard to explain.
Starting by saying it made me tear up a bit. I was kind of surprised to see the tears well up on my eyes as i read. I don't understand why if i wasn't sad but i guess it made me feel something.
Talking more about the book. I really enjoyed the side characters, there were plenty (some books lack characters) and they were likeable. No one seemed over do or fake to me.
I also enjoyed there were no dramatic fights or over the top misunderstandings. All the characters stayed mature through the book; a great example would be Grace who even though all the pain and guilt she feel inside she never mistreated Eva for getting along with her Mother.
I was a bit eery about how the author would handle the situation about Maggie treating Eva like daughter better than Grace and Grace and Eva being together at the same time. I thought at some point it would blow up and Grace would say something about the lines "You mother stealer" or some cringe shit but it was gracefully handled (thank you Ashley)
I'm glad that nothing big really happened (sa, death)
I read some reviews saying that who meets someone and then randomly appears at their window and it's true it was weird but it's the only thing that happened that it didn't make sense.
I loved the internal dialogue of Grace, how it was worded and paced. I really can't explain it well
