BLURB: For Charli Blake, being seventeen is a tough gig. She's been branded a troublemaker, her reputation is in tatters and she's stuck in Pipers Cove, a speck of a town on the coast of Tasmania. Thankfully, it's temporary. Her lifelong dream of travelling the world is just months away from becoming reality. All she has to do is ride out the last few months of high school, which is easier said than done thanks to a trio of mean girls known as The Beautifuls. When Adam Décarie arrives in town, all the way from New York, life takes an unexpected turn. His arrival sets off a chain of events that alters her life forever, convincing her of one thing. Fate brought him to her. Saving Wishes is the story of a girl who doesn't quite fit the life she's living, and the boy who helps her realize why.
BIO: G.J Walker-Smith’s day job used to be in the stressful world of property management, until she realized she’d rather write books and raise her babies. She lives in Western Australia, has an egotistical French bulldog, a love for really good coffee and a million stories in her head that she hopes to put into print.
My Review:
I was not a trouble maker in high school, but I was somewhat of an outcast. That is what made me what to read this book. To be able to go back to high school I would definitely change some things. Charli does not have that option. She is graduating soon, if she can keep her cool, and she has her future planned. Once she meets Adam her heart has other plans. Charli is torn between love, and wanting to live her life as she planned. Like most teenagers Charli is stubborn, and her stubborness might cost her true happiness. I was reading the book, and hoping that she would make the right decision. I could really relate to this book.
The ending was good, and I did laugh a few times in different parts of the book. All in all this was a good book. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
