PW Reviews As You Wish

We are pleased to share that Publishers Weekly has given a glowing review to As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti.

They say: “The countdown structure creates a natural hook, and Sedoti (The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett) makes good use of her what-if premise to give readers much to consider. She successfully captures the feelings of uncertainty that come with nascent adulthood, the desire to leave home, and waiting for one’s life to begin.”

If you could make one wish that was guaranteed to come true—what would you wish for?

​Madison is a small town in the Mojave dessert on the road between nothing and nowhere. It's an unremarkable speck on the map, which is perfect for protecting the town's secret. Because in Madison, everyone can make  one wish on their eighteenth birthday—and that wish always comes true.

 Most of Eldon's classmates have had their wishes picked out for months, even years. Not Eldon. He's seen how wishing has hurt the people around him. His parents' marriage is strained, his sister is a virtual ghost in their house, his ex-girlfriend is dating his ex-friend...where does he even begin?
​
 One thing is for sure: Eldon has only twenty-six days to figure it out—and the rest of his life to live with the consequences.
