Well, be careful what you wish for. One night, Lily borrows a witchy Halloween costume, complete with an antique amulet that’s said to have magic powers. And soon discovers that fast-forwarding her life only creates a whole new set of challenges.

Be careful what you wish for! Lily then makes a wish that she could bypass all this teenage crap and be a grown up already. Wish granted!
Wrinkles, gray hairs, tummy rolls, big butt. She’s OLD! This was too funny! I liked her attempts to try to look young again. Don’t we all? She tries everything—tapes, creams, voodoo dolls.
I was sad that this was the last book of the series but I still loved it regardless. Marie D'Abreo has incredible writing skills and her writing is just phenomenal.
