The Secret Ingredient of Wishes, by Susan Bishop Crispell

The Secret Ingredient of Wishes by Susan Bishop Crispell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars, I really liked it.

Fans of Sarah Addison Allen will love this book. It was a sweet story of a woman with the power to grant wishes, whether she wants to or not.

Rachel Monroe tries to run from her questionable gift, and ends up in Nowhere, North Carolina, where lost things have a habit of turning up and magic isn't really considered all that unusual.

In Nowhere, Rachel learns that maybe she can have a normal life after all, with friends, and even a possible romantic relationship with the cute guy next door.

This truly was an absolutely lovely story about second chances that I could not put down.

My rating system:

5 Stars: Super rare rating from me. It was amazing! I loved it, got completely lost in the story and will re-read it at least yearly. Give me all the books from this author, now!

4 Stars: Somewhat rare rating. I really liked it. It really worked for me and I will likely read it again. When is the next book out?!

3 Stars: I liked it. It was a good book, with good characters and plot. I may even read it again at some point. The next book immediately goes on my TBR list.

2 Stars: It was ok. I read it, I mostly liked it, but something bothered me enough that I couldn't truly get into it. I will probably check this author out from the library in the future, since even a great author can write a bad book.

1 Star: Ugh. This one is pretty rare, too. I did not like it, it was absolutely forgettable, convoluted or unbelievable. It may even be so bad that I did not finish it! I probably won't read anymore of the series (though I may give the author another chance if they write something new).

*One thing that makes me automatically downrate a book: A love triangle, especially if they aren't cleared up quickly. They make the female look wishy-washy and the men look like idiots for putting up with it.*
