Wishes, wishes, wishes....this book takes a look at what can happen, not only if you aren't careful with them but also the damage it can do to those around you.
It's a nice retelling of Cinderella, except the Fairy Godmother is evil, the stepfather is evil, and there are no stepsisters, just a stepbrother that knocks Ella up, and a couple of lesbian maids.
Honestly this book works both as a standalone or the first books in a series of retellings.
Definitely worth a read.
