How To Make A Wish by Ashley Herring Blake
3.0
I like How to Make a Wish enough to cry and get emotional over certain scenes, but not enough to warrant a four star.
What stood out for me is the barb portrayal of unreliable parent. I'm a sucker for that. It's imperfect but it's spot on. However, I'm also a prolific romance reader. That's one of the defining factors for me. I'm not a fan of pairings where they hit off immediately. I don't like the instant let's-have-a-heart-to-heart conversation. I believe that it takes time to build relationship. It takes time for people to let other people see their deepest scars. The pairing seems superficial to me, I couldn't get into it. This is just a personal preference. Since, I tend to favor slow burn romance with a long (preferably years) of build up.
Overall, this novel is pretty alright. It moved me but I'm not in love with it. The biggest census is everyone love it if you're curious you should give it a try. Though, if you want my recommendation for stellar YA f/f: go try Tell Me Again How A Crush Should Feel by Sara Farizan and Dirty London by Kelly Yorke.
