Book of the Week (8)
BotW is a weekly post I do in order to give more attention to a book I think deserves it.

Genre: YA
284 pages

What it's about:
1 wish

2 girls who love the same boy
14 days to stop the madness!

Kayla McHanry is having the worst sweet sixteenth birthday ever! And it's not just because she's cynical. It's hard to have a good time when you're secretly in love with your best friend's boyfriend.

Just before Kayla blows out her candles, she thinks: I wish all my birthdya wishes actually came true. Because they never freakin' do.

The next morning, Kayla wakes up and sees a life-sized, bright pink My LIttle Pony outside her window. The following day, a year's supply of gumballs arrives. Then, an oddly plastic-looking boy named Ken shows up in a convertible and starts following her around everywhere!

Each day, another wish from her childhood comes true. But... they MUST STOP.
Because when she was 15? Kayla wished Ben Mackenzie would kiss her. And Ben is her best friend's boyfriend.

Why?
I absolutely loved this book. The plot, the characters, the writing style. The whole book was completely fantastic! I'll be posting my review for this book tomorrow (hopefully).

I love getting comments! I'm always checking to see if I have any new comments. It's actually pretty sad how often I check for them really. So if there is anything you want to say about a post of mine, please say it! I want feedback :)

As of lately, I'm making the blog a no-award blog. I love getting them and I'm always honored, but I don't have the time to do all the things that are required of them. Sorry :(
Also, my "reply" button does not seem to be working in my comments on my computer. I have to use a different computer to reply back so if I don't reply, it's not because I'm rude, it's just that I can't.
