Back Cover Summary:
Sixteen-year-old Macy Queen is looking forward to a long, boring summer. Her boyfriend is going away. She’s stuck with a dull-as-dishwater job at the library. And she’ll spend all of her free time studying for the SATs or grieving silently with her mother over her father’s recent unexpected death. But everything changes when Macy is corralled into helping out at one of her mother’s open house events, and she meets the chaotic Wish Catering crew. Before long, Macy joins the Wish team. She loves everything about, the work and the people. But the best thing about Wish is Wes—artistic, insightful, and understanding Wes—who gets Macy to look at life in a whole new way, and really start living it.
My Review:
In high school, I LOVED Sarah Dessen's books. I owned a lot of them, but I misplaced or lost them when I moved to my current house 7 years ago. This is one of the ones that I still have. I always fall in love with the characters and this book was no exception to the rule. The summaries on the back are never really great, you have to actually read the book and get to know the characters and you'll feel the connection that I do. I laugh and cry with them like I'm really living in the book world.
Wes and Kristy are my favorite characters by far.
I love Wes's honesty and loyalty, Kristy's outspokenness and wit, Monica's insight, Delia's all-over-the-place business practices, and Bert's--well-- Bert. I wanted to grab Macy and shake her sometimes, but her naivete is what makes her so realistic.
Overall:
I give this book 4 stars out of 5!
