Book Review of As You Wish

As You Wish
reviewed on + 15 more book reviews


This would be a good book to read with my daughter when she is in high school. It talks about a girl who's boyfriend broke up with her and she feels lost and broken. I would use it as a 'how NOT to' become a serial dater, how girls who think they have to be with a guy to be 'complete' and 'whole' are wrong. Only when you learn what makes YOU happy can you be whole.

I like this quote from the book: "And it's going to happen again, Viola. You don't love him. You'll split with him, and until you can make yourself happy, no amount of wishing is going to stop you from feeling invisible in the long run."

Overall, it was a quick enjoyable read, but I loved Jackson's other books 'Sisters Red' and 'Sweetly' more.
