How to Make a Wish by Ashley Herring Blake

4.0

3.75 stars. A lovely book that I think tried to cram too much tragedy. Not because people can only receive so much tragedy...but because it rained...then it poured...and then it fell into the trap of trying to be MORE than a YA Romance. It skirted the line between characteristic and compelling.

But the romance was SO SO SO good. And despite the "80 thousand tragedies over the span of a summer" feeling, Grace's mom was a wonderfully written character. Ashley Herring Blake did a fantastic job of creating some truly dynamic characters.
