Wishing for You (I Wish, #2)

by Elizabeth Langston

[Chelsea]

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Quick Thoughts:
1. I feel like the summary for this book isn't quite right. It makes it seem as though this is just about deciding which college to go to and that was hardly important.
2. This is a fairly sad story so be warned.
3. I found the whole Grant/Lacey relationship to be really weird.
4. There were some parts the author could have written better but it was mostly pretty good.
5. I really liked Kim's disability and how it was portrayed but I found that we didn't experience her memory loss at all.

REVIEW:

COVER

I’m actually liking these covers. They’re very wispy like and remind me of the story.

INITIAL THOUGHTS

I was a little worried about starting this one because we switch main characters but all the other characters are still there. I wasn’t sure how that was going to turn out because usually I hate it when the author switches the point of view.

MY NEW BFF

I adored Kim in this book! I’m glad we got to see more of her because she’s a very interesting character. I’m sure most of us don’t know anyone struggling with brain damage but still able to function normally which I think is why this book could appeal to a lot of people. I was curious about her in the first book and now I feel like we could be best friends. I loved how determined she was to be independent even though she struggles with brain damage. I think she’s a great character to look up to.

MY CRUSH

The romance in these books are really weird. There was kind of a love triangle in this book but not really. Another thing I won’t spoil for you! You’ll have to read it. I think that Sean would be my crush in this book. He was another determined character only with a really sad ending. He struggled the most in this book but he never wasted his time complaining about it. He stayed happy until the very end! I admire that.

WRITING STYLE

I found this book a lot better than the first. The characters were written a lot better and the plot had more to it. Not only were with with Kim during her struggles but we were with Sean as well. I did find Grant and Lacey’s relationship to be extremely weird in this book. I found it shouldn’t have gotten as much attention as it did.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

I feel like from the ending of this book that there will most likely be a third. It was really nice seeing another Being in this book. There are more out there I guess! They both did different things so which I’m glad for or else this book would have gotten boring quick. I did enjoy this book a lot more than the first which hardly ever happens! I’d still recommend this book to everyone but especially those who won’t cry their eyes out in a public place while reading this. Just a heads up.

4 out of 5 stars
