Wish by Alexandra Bullen

I recently won a copy of Alexandra Bullen's debut novel Wish on this blog. It came in the mail Friday and I immediately started reading it. I couldn't put it down. I finished it in just under a day. Here's a little bit about the book:

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.

WISH asks the question: If you could have anything, what would you wish for?

I loved this book. The characters are believable and the story is one many teenagers can relate to in one way or another. Violet helps Olivia to see that she can live life and have fun and that she doesn't need magic to make that happen. It is a sweet story about learning to let go and move on, about first-loves, friendships, and family.

I recommend this book to anyone looking for a sweet read.
