    About this audiobook

    Eldon is guaranteed to have one wish come true, but with chaos surrounding him, how is he supposed to choose? In the sandy Mojave Desert, Madison is a small town on the road between nothing and nowhere. But Eldon wouldn't want to live anywhere else, because in Madison, everyone gets one wish-and that wish always comes true. Some people wish for money, some people wish for love, but Eldon has seen how wishes have broken the people around him. And with the lives of his family and friends in chaos, he's left with more questions than answers. 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. Author bio: Chelsea Sedoti lives in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her short stories have been published in Pantheon Magazine and Balloons Lit Journal.

    Chelsea Sedoti

    Chelsea Sedoti fell in love with writing at a young age after discovering that making up stories was more fun than doing her schoolwork. (Her teachers didn’t always appreciate this.) She now focuses that passion by writing about flawed teenagers who are also afraid of growing up, like in her novels, The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett and As You Wish. She lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she avoids casinos but loves roaming the Mojave Desert. Visit her at chelseasedoti.com.

      my favorite part of the book was when Eldon made his wish and then, his wish changed everything like a counter attack
    • 4/5
      Jude Deveraux is a guilty pleasure. This is the third installment in the Summerhouse series. Olivia is in her sixties, and is finally married to the man of her dreams. But, she wishes that they were married in their 20s and had 40 years of love together. Elise and Kathy regret their marriages, and are sent to stay with Olivia. After telling each other their stories, they find a card which tells them they can rewrite their past. They go to check out this possibility.
      Light, sexy, love triumphs all - as usual in a Jude Deveraux novel, but they are so sweet, I enjoy reading them.
