These are things Lennie only learns when it's too late-after she brings some of her uncles' moonshine to a party and toasts to dozens of wishes, including a big wish of her own: to bring back her best friend, Dylan, who was abducted and murdered six months ago.
Lennie didn't mean to cause so much chaos. She always thought her uncles' moonshine toast was just a tradition. And when they talked about carrying on their "important family legacy," she thought they meant good old-fashioned bootlegging.

Now she has to find a way to undo the damage. But once granted, a wish can't be unmade...

The Incident On the Bridge av Laura McNeal
The last anyone saw of Thisbe Locke, she was standing by a car on the side of the bridge.
She'd been depressed since she stopped seeing Clay, who humiliated her in front of everyone at his party. But would Trisbe really jump because of that?

Two Summers av Aimee Friedman
ONE SUMMER in the French countryside, among sun-kissed fields of lavender...
ANOTHER SUMMER in upstate New York, along familiar roads that lead to surprises...
