Fun take on the be careful what you wish for theme. When avid photographer and aspiring art-student Allison Jean (AJ) McCreary is told she has one wish from a magical cupid figure she must choose between getting into the art-school of her dreams, rescuing a sinking GPA, or having the the hunk that she's currently crushing on. Against the advice of her miniature mentor AJ opts for romance and suddenly THWONK she's got the hottest guy at Benjamin Franklin High in loony tunes love with her.
But have you ever noticed how there's always a catch? The girl soon realizes that snagging the hottest guy on campus isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially when he's not the demi-god she'd romanticized him into.
This is a short fun read and I was more than willing to keep flipping pages to get to the denouement everyone sort of expects in this type of story. This would probably make a great beach read but on some level I was wondering if the author wasn't just yanking our chain a bit. "They THINK they want a frothy light romantic wish fulfillment story without any heavy drama. Fine. Wish granted. NOW they'll learn to be careful what they wish for.
Still and all, provided it's not a steady diet, this kinda thing can be fun when one's in the mood.
