No one else can see or hear her, but Olivia's confidence is soon enough that she soon becomes friendly with Calla, the most popular girl in school, and catches the eye of skater cutie Soren. When Soren breaks up with Calla, Olivia can now legally date him, and she still can make a few magic wishes..
I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Wish!! It was written so dreamy and magical and I loved that it was set in San Francisco. Olivia was just a perfect and realistic main character, and the family relationships where also very realistic and gripping, and how Olivia dealed with her problems was just awesome and she really gained my respect for this! As a fan of the Princess Diaries books, I can only say, if you loved that series, you will fell on your knees for Wish. Wish is Alexandra Bullen's first novel, (the first in a serie) after reading it I truly know that more books will follow and I hope we will hear and read many, many more fabulousness by this great and promising author!
