How to Make a Wish by Ashley Herring Blake

1.0

I really didn't enjoy this book at all. I was pretty excited about it since a lot of people like it and there was a lot of hype, but it was extremely anticlimactic for me.
The beginning of the book was great in my opinion, but it faded badly. My major issue with this book is the way they address abuse and parent-child relationships. I felt as if all the issues on how Maggie treated Grace were brushed over at the end, and even the confrontation scene left me frustrated. I felt as if Grace didn't fully express how toxic their relationship was. People said that it's obvious that Maggie loves Grace, but I honestly don't see it. Like at all.
Also would've like more expanding on the relationship between Grace and Luca, and even with Emmy. I was really let down by the lack of depth that we saw throughout the book.
Anyways, this book made me so frustrated and I just don't see the hype.
