Okay, I know that you're probably rolling your eyes at the bright pink cover, and trust me I was totally there. I get it, I really do. The premise of the books just sounded too hilarious to pass up though and I surprisingly found an actual depth to this book that was totally unexpected. Im rounding this up from a 4.5, and Im so glad that I didnt let my sarcastic and suspicious tendency keep me from reading it. Quick Overview: Kayla has just had the worst sweet sixteen party possible. Her bestI read this synopsis and immediately put a hold on it at the library. I thought it sounded original and hilarious. I had high hopes for it, so as soon as I picked it up, I dove into it.And that's when it started to go downhill.Let me say first off, overall, I found this book enjoyable. However, it just did not live up to the expectations I had after reading the synopsis. The main character, Kayla, wasn't very likeable in my opinion. She has this whole cynical grunge thing going on which I would
3.5 starsOh God. I actually laughed till I cried at one point, and how often does that really happen? Read this for the complete and utter fail that is Kayla trying to deal with the fallout of fourteen years of birthday wishes coming true. A taste:Just before I flip the shower on, I turn around and happen to glimpse myself in the mirror.And let out a bloodcurdling scream.Oh. Mio. Dio.Boobs.I have boobs.I clamp my hand over my mouth and stare, my eyes wider than theyve ever been, at my chest. I
Reviewed by Andrea for TeensReadToo.comIn YOU WISH by Mandy Hubbard, Kayla is not excited about her sixteenth birthday - at all. Life is not happy right now: her dad has left, her best friend is dating the boy she secretly likes, and her grades are not good.So when it's time to blow out her birthday candles, she made an impossible wish - for all her past birthday wishes to come true.Little did she know that the impossible was about to happen! She had to stop the wishes before they all came true,
Yeah, so I adored this plot. It was such a great idea, but the execution of it was rather drab. I didnt connect with any of the characters, or even the main character. At the end of the book, when Kaylas dad arrived to see her, she completely rejected him, which was terrible. It was probably really hard for him to get the guts to go speak to her and she acted as if he was the spawn of Satan. Yeah, hes not about to win dad of the year, but give the guy some credit. And a,os, Kayla acted as if she
Somehow I lost the power to be happy, but I'm taking it back. Such a cute, fun, light read by Mandy Hubbard. Kayla McHenry's sweet 16 isn't all that great, her best friend is dating her secret crush, the pink party (and she hates pink) is thrown by her mother with an underline selfish reason, and above all her wishes never come true. Except this time they do! Basically a whole book centered around the saying be careful what you wish for. Kayla soon finds out that having all that you wished
SOOOOOO FUNNY! I laughed so hard during this book! Best scenes were with the Ken doll, I've never laughed so hard in my life, my family was so confused of why I was laughing so hard. It was just gold! I'm so glad I finally read the book! I can officially say that You Wish was such a good book (Shout out to you Wisty!)
