This book really made me think about what I would honestly do if I learned that my wishes were coming true. For Emma, all her disappointments begin to crash into each other, starting with a continuously barking dog next door that mysteriously does not exist one day. This is after she wishes the neighbors never got the dog to begin with. Emma’s troubles continue: a sexual predator boss, an uncommunicative teenage daughter, an unsatisfying relationship with her husband, and the biggie-a son with cerebral palsy. Yeah, you can see the road she might travel but to what ramifications? That’s what got me thinking: what would the ramifications be of my wishes-what would change or no longer exist? It is a mind boggling thought when all you really want is for things to be different.
All that’s Left of Me

I am an avid reader and have been since the dawn of civilization or at least since what a word was dawned on me. I remember first reading a VW billboard for a Beetle when I was a kid as my first Aha! moment with reading. Madeline books were my favorites, so much so that I bought them for my girls. I always have a book somewhere at hand and usually my nose is buried in it. Suspense-Chick Lit-Thriller-Romance-Family Complications all are my novels of choice. Psychological thrillers drive me nuts. Not too much into paranormal or sci-fi either. I will be honest, though, in that if a book does not get me by the second or third chapter, I'll generally abandon it ord ti just jump to the ending. For me, life is too short and time is too costly to waste them on a book that does not grab and hold me. View all posts by paulalala09
