gretarutt 's review for:
Wishing Day
by Lauren Myracle
I received an ARC copy of this book through some giveaway that I entered ages ago. I was studying abroad in Scotland and this came while I was away and that is what has taken me so long to get to this review.
First of all, I was skeptical because I'm not usually into books about kids younger than 16 because I feel like authors tend to dumb down kids these ages, but let me say, Lauren Myracle did not do that. Natasha was a relatable heroine that will have readers of all ages rooting for her from the minute they start reading. The premise of this story is great, though I'd love to have learned more about the background of magic in this town that has to do with the wishing day and tree.
This story lost a star, because, while I enjoyed it, I felt like it just sort of Ended in a very unsatisfying way. I understand ending and leaving it open for the sequel to tie up loose ends, but I wasn't sure if my copy had left out the last chapter or something because the ending isn't a very good one and did not leave me wanting more in the same way as a cliffhanger ending does.
Otherwise, if you love stories about family and sisterhood and strong female characters as well coming of age, I definitely think this book is a book for you!
