What You Wish For

This story didn't hook me right away. It started a little slowly I felt, and the main character's meddling, though well intentioned, irked me a bit (perhaps because I can meddle sometimes myself). But I'm glad I stuck with the book because a third of the way in, it just... blossomed, unfolding into one of the most compelling, original stories I've read in the last while. The depth Katherine Center gave her main characters was extremely satisfying, the conflict between them (for the most part) felt real and compelling and the final scene was electric. Terrific read, a tear-jerker.
