Wish Upon A Star
Publication Date: October 7, 2011
There is just something about the covers for UK Chick Lit novels that just captivates me. One of these days I will do a post just about these covers, but it is more than you would think, that I find myself browsing through British Chick Lit blogs just to look at the covers of the books. The soft colors and pretty images just have a way getting me every time!
Well. Wish Upon A Star was recently released as an e-book in the States and I had a chance to review a copy. Honestly, I should have just kept the illusion that pretty covers equals pretty stories.
Wish Upon A Star is a book with two stories about two women. The first is Christy. She and her husband have been having a major problem with communication, so much so that she took the kids and moved to London. They return "home" for the holidays and the kids see it as an opportunity for Mom & Dad to work things out. Will the kids get their wish?
The second story is about Miranda, a Midwife who has come to the hospital (same hospital that Christy and her husband work at) and finds herself in the way of sexy Doctor Jake Blackwell more than she would like. Jake finds himself drawn to the Midwife, but will his feelings change once he discovers the single woman is about to become a Mother?
Both stories were a bit predictable. Okay, a LOT predictable. I liked Miranda's story a bit better, but still, exactly the kind of story that my Grandmother would read. If you are looking for light and easy, give this one a shot, but don't say I didn't warn you about the predictability.
