Waiting on Wednesday (#230): As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti


"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


This week, I'm featuring:


As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti
Publisher: Sourcebooks Fire
Publication Date: January 1, 2018

Summary (from Goodreads):

What if you could ask for anything- and get it? 

In the sandy Mojave Desert, Madison is a small town on the road between nothing and nowhere. But Eldon wouldn’t want to live anywhere else, because in Madison, everyone gets one wish—and that wish always comes true.

Some people wish for money, some people wish for love, but Eldon has seen how wishes have broken the people around him. And with the lives of his family and friends in chaos, he’s left with more questions than answers. Can he make their lives better? How can he be happy if the people around him aren’t? And what hope is there for any of them if happiness isn’t an achievable dream? Doubts build, leading Eldon to a more outlandish and scary thought: maybe you can’t wish for happiness…maybe, just maybe, you have to make it for yourself.



This one is new to me, and it sounds awesome! What a great way to start 2018, in YA publishing!

    I have it on my reading list too. I read the author's first book 'The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett' and really enjoyed it.

    I love the concept of this one! That whole "be careful what you wish for" adage. I bet this will be a fun but heartfelt read!
