As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti

5.0

Ever thought how life could be if your wishes could come true? In a small town in the desert called Madison, they can. Or, rather, one of your wishes can come true. And you get the opportunity to do your wish on your 18th birthday. “As You Wish” is a YA novel full of adventures, aliens, and desert. It’s actually a pretty fun reading, more than I thought it would be. The characters are interesting, and the narrative is intercalated with descriptions of past wishes from residents, that will do everything to try to keep their secret safe from outsiders. That’s why you can only wish for something that can take place within the city limits. You should definitely read this if you have a chance. It’s fun, there’s suspense, and you will be dying to know what Eldon, the main character, is going to wish for. He’s a jerk, but somehow you will be rooting for him. Spoiler alert: you have to read more than 30 chapters to find out his wish.
