Summary

For broken-hearted Olivia Larsen, nothing can change the fact that her twin sister, Violet, is

gone... until a mysterious, beautiful gown arrives on her doorstep. The dress doesn't just look


magical; it is magical. It has the power to grant her one wish, and the only thing Olivia


wants is her sister back.


With Violet again by her side, both girls get a second chance at life. And as the sisters soon


discover, they have two more dresses-and two more wishes left. But magic can't solve


everything, and Olivia is forced to confront her ghosts to learn how to laugh, love, and live


again.


In a breathtaking debut from Alexandra Bullen, Wish asks the question: If you could have


anything, what would you wish for?


Review


At first, I thought it was a little confusing Just a little. It got better when everything was


explained. I liked how this was a story about family, love, life, and friendships and it was


compassionate. I thought the characters were awesomely formed-and had their own unique


personality. I thought the cover was beautiful-a girl I beleive is Olivia wearing a dazzling


dress made out of stars, and I lovedhow her lower body disappeared into the sky. The


description and setting of thsi book was well formed, but the details could bebetter-I didn't


receive much. I thought the ending was great-satisfying, but still making you want more.


The suspense was awesome-I loved how Alexandra Bullen makes you grab hold of the book


and wish you could just inject it in your head and find out what was going to happen already.


The plot was really good, just some parts of the book don't exactly make sense that much.


But otherwise,it was actually really good, so if you like stories that are compassionate, this is


for you!
