How to Make a Wish by Ashley Herring Blake
4.0
I was not expecting to love How To Make A Wish like I do. I really didn't know much going in, all I knew was that it featured an f/f pairing, and interestingly, this was not the sole focus of the narrative.
The toxic relationship between Grace and Maggie was heartbreaking, I swear I felt my heart clench every time Grace was left disappointed and neglected by her mother. This novel highlights the cruelty of hope and being stuck in a damaging relationship.
But it also presents a gorgeous friendship between Grace and Luca. I am a sucker for close friendships so the book gets an A+ on that front.
Eva and Grace's relationship was cute, but not the best part of the book. A scene that did frustrate me was when Grace spoke about her first crush, Natalie; I really dislike how bisexual people are always made to justify their sexuality.
Overall, it was very compelling, I was pleasantly surprised.
