Readathon Book Review: You Wish by Mandy Hubbard

Kayla's party planner mother throws her a sweet 16 birthday she doesn't even want, complete with a super expensive pink cake.  When it comes time to make a wish, Kayla wishes that her birthday wishes would come true.  And then they do ... with hilarious results.

This is a fun, frothy read that mostly hits the right notes.  I loved how perfectly the various wishes Kayla made over her years of birthdays fit into the narrative (though the pink pony wore out his/her welcome pretty quickly) and the idea of Raggedy Ann coming to life was brill!  In fact, Ann was probably my favorite character of all.  Though there were a lot of wacky, over the top scenes, there was also a definite heart behind it all.  Aww!
