Better to Wish by Ann M. Martin
3.0
I love the idea of this series! And I liked this book too, although I found the narrative jarring (starting with the shift from 1st person to 3rd person right after the prologue) – and a lot of really important things happening really suddenly. I almost wished some of it had happened off-stage, so we could see the aftermath, but not just have a weird, sudden lead-up to a dramatic event every chapter. (I realize that this book is told as Abby's memory, and that's not how memory works, but there is no law saying the book had to be framed that way (as it was in the previously mentioned awkward prologue)). I believed in the characters, and so am mad that some of them just randomly disappeared...unless their disappearance is explained in the next book, for some reason?
