cover blurb:
'I wish I could get a seat on the tube
 I hadn’t eaten that entire bag of Maltesers
 I could meet a man whose hobbies include washing up and monogamy
’


Heather Hamilton is always wishing for things. Not just big stuff - like world peace or for a date with Brad Pitt - but little, everyday wishes, made without thinking. With her luck, she knows they’ll never come true


Until one day she buys some heather from a gypsy. Suddenly the bad hair days stop; a handsome American answers her ad for a housemate; and she starts seeing James - The Perfect Man who sends her flowers, excels in the bedroom, and isn’t afraid to say ‘I love you’


But are these wishes-come-true a blessing or a curse? And is there such a thing as too much foreplay?


A likeable, magical romantic comedy about what might happen if your wishes really came true. Very much escapism (let's face it girls, we know there's no such thing as the perfect man don't we? lol) but sometimes that's just what you want. It won't convert anyone to the chick-lit genre but if you fancy some light but not too fluffy fun reading this should do the trick :o)

A wishlist book to wish you Happy Bookcrossing Anniversary!

Wow, thank you so much Plum-crazy!!! It was an amazing surprise, you are awesome!! I haven't read this book and I look forward to reading it :-)

I really enjoyed this book and I couldn't put it down!! I loved the characters, especially Gabe and Lionel. It's true that not always what we wish is what we need or what it's best for us.

Don’t think this one will ever be shortlisted for a nobel prize. But in the category of a quick, light & feelgood read, I think it scores quite high.

Heather has quite a normal life, untill the moment she bumps into a gypsy in the street and is given a branch of lucky heather. Suddenly all her wishes come true. The small insignificant ones like “I wish there isn’t a queue at Starbucks” or “I wish they have my favorite sandwish at M&S” but also finding a perfect partner or getting her dream job as a photographer.

But obviously, she realises that sometimes it’s not always good to get everything you wish for and that perhaps her granted wishes aren’t a guarantee for a happy life. Shocker!

There’s also a (slightly predictable) love story and *spoiler* a (slightly predictable) happy ending. Overall it’s a nice easy read.

Will save this one for the chicklit sweeps

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

This one continues to travel to the lucky winner of the chicklit and chocolate sweeps. I added a few chocolate bars and several bookplates.

I always try to post my controlled releases with real stamps. If you are not a collector yourself, you might want to check out this post on the forum about a stamps sweeps that I’m currently organising or this one about Bookcrossers who collect stamps. A lot of Bookcrossers collect stamps for charity, so it’s nice to find them a good home!
