I loved this book!!! I wasn't going to pick it up and I'm so happy I did.
I was invested in every single character of this book. Lucy and her problems you felt. Jack and his hardship made me tear up and that never happens. I was routing so hard for Lucy and Christopher. I wanted so happy the way the book ended too. It was sweet, it was touching and it was AMAZING! ...more

This was a super sweet premise. A famous children’s book writer hosts some now adult children who had sent him special wishes for a contest. I love the idea. The execution, however, was a bit too sappy/Hallmark like for my taste. There isn’t enough development of characters and the game is glossed over and overly simple.
