Careful what you wish for - Review.

Careful what you wish for.By Michelle Escamilla.


One simple wish can change everything…

Harley Simpson has one wish—to find Prince Charming and settle down. She has a dream job and wonderful friends, but something is missing. With her thirtieth birthday looming, Harley is sure being with her hot, smooth-talking boss Ethan Prince would make her life complete. Having just landed a major client and learning she’ll be working even more closely with Ethan, Harley sets out to celebrate with her friends.

On her way to the bar, Harley chats with a mysterious cab driver. When the woman asks what she would wish for, Harley answers honestly—she wants Ethan. But during her night out, she meets a handsome, blue-eyed part-time bartender and full-time teacher named Matt Garner. No, he’s not a CEO, but he’s the sweetest guy Harley’s ever met.

A wish gone bad…

Harley awakens the next morning in a strange house with Ethan—and their two young daughters. The wish she’d confided to the freaky fairy godmother has actually come true. As she tries to figure out what this means and if it’s really what she wanted after all, Harley discovers Matt is also part of this bizarre world…He’s her daughters’ teacher.

Harley suspects fate has gone completely haywire. Will she be able to find a way out of this suburban nightmare? Or is she destined to stay and live the life she thought she wanted in this messed up fairytale… 

Careful What You Wish For.


Ok.. so I am a big Disney fan and when I saw this book it instantly reminded me of Cinderella so of course I had to get it, I got this book on the Kindle app and when I opened it and started to read I got hooked it really is a modem day tale of Cinderella.

I love how there are twists in this book to keep you thinking along the way and how all the characters have all equally important roles to play in both of Harley’s lives.
For me personally I would have liked the book to be a bit longer, you get a lot of what her life could have been like when the wish comes true but not a lot of her actual real life, so basically it leaves you wanting more but on the plus side there is a number 2 book called Wishful Thinking (Careful What You Wish For Book 2).

The characters really did grab me and I felt like I could understand each one and really get the role the character had for helping Harley choose which life she would like to keep.
In the end (Don’t worry I won’t give anything away) honestly, I couldn’t stop smiling I was so happy about what had happened but again it really come to a sudden end which to be completely honest it can stop at the place it did, but I had a lot of unanswered questions like:
Did she have children? Were they happy? Etc I cannot say any more of my questions without giving too much of the book away so I will leave that there.

This book is really worth a read if you like a little magic, fairytale or just a big kid at heart like me! 

 If you do get this book I hope you enjoy and leave me a comment saying what you thought.

My rating is: ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ 
(5 stars)
Thank you for reading.


Careful what you wish for is currently £1.99 on amazon for the kindle version:

I still remember - Review - Blog Tour.

I still remember by  Priya Prithviraj. Blog Tour. Title:  I Still Remember Genre : Contemporary Romance/ Coming-of-Age Age category : Young Adult Release date : May 14, 2017 How do you forget someone you’ve loved once? Ji-woo dreams of becoming a writer and is back in college giving it a second shot. But then Weon-gyu, her first love, comes back into her new life. Will she give up on her dreams or will she write them a happy ending? So… this book is a nice short read, something nice and easy to pick up. I read this on holiday and I wanted something that I could get stuck into but something that wasn’t going to take all my time up if I got stuck into it and to be honest this book did just that I actually finished it in 2 nights. For me personally, I would have liked a bit more background on the characters that are in the book so we could relate to them a bit more. I liked how to story is about a love you once had can turn up at any time

The binding song by Elodie Harper. A chilling debut for fans of Mo Hayder and Sharon Bolton, THE BINDING SONG takes you on a trip to Halvergate Prison. If you're lucky, you'll get to leave... Dr Janet Palmer is the new lead psychologist at HMP Halvergate in a remote, bleak area of Norfolk. At first, she was excited by the promotion. Then she starts to see how many secrets are hiding behind the high walls. A string of inmates have committed suicide, leaving no reasons why, and her predecessor has disappeared - along with his notes. The staff are hostile, the threat of violence is ever-present, and there are rumors of an eyeless woman stalking the corridors, punishing the inmates for their sins. Janet is determined to find out what is really going on. But the longer she stays and the deeper she digs, the more uncertain she feels. Halvergate is haunted by something. But it may be a terror worse than ghosts...
