You still end up rooting for him even when he is acting like a complete idiot. Even though I knew by the end what Eldon was going to wish for, but how he got there and the aftermath was not what I expected.Įldon was not exactly a likable character, in fact he is pretty self-centered and a jerk most of the time, but you also can’t help but feel sorry for him and also somewhat endearing. There were lots of times where I thought I had it figured out, but then something would happen that totally threw me off course for awhile. It ended up being much darker and much more thought provoking than I ever would have thought.

This book was not at all what I was expecting. 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.ĪRC provided by the publisher via Netgalley for an honest review. And with the lives of his family and friends in chaos, he’s left with more questions than answers. Some people wish for money, some people wish for love, but Eldon has seen how wishes have broken the people around him. But Eldon wouldn’t want to live anywhere else, because in Madison, everyone gets one wish-and that wish always comes true. In the sandy Mojave Desert, Madison is a small town on the road between nothing and nowhere. What if you could ask for anything- and get it?
