Be Careful What You Wish For
Be Careful What You Wish For

Humorous take on wishes turning into reality.

If the quirky pitfalls of getting exactly what you ask for sounds intriguing, you'll get a kick out of "Be Careful What You Wish For." It’s a light-hearted romp through the life of Heather Hamilton, who discovers the unforeseen complications of her wishes being granted. It’s perfect if you’re in the mood for a fun, romantic comedy that plays with the idea that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

'I wish I could get a seat on the tube... I hadn't eaten that entire bag of Maltesers... I could meet a man whose hobbies include washing up and monogamy...'Heather Hamilton is always wishing for things. Not just big stuff - like world peace or for a date with Brad Pitt - but little, everyday wishes, made without thinking. With her luck, she knows they'll never come true...Until one day she buys some heather from a gypsy. Suddenly the bad hair days stop; a handsome American answers her ad for a housemate; and she starts seeing James - The Perfect Man who sends her flowers, excels in the bedroom, and isn't afraid to say 'I love you'...But are these wishes-come-true a blessing or a curse? And is there such a thing as too much foreplay?
