A girl who has just lost her mother unexpectedly and finds comfort in Grace’s mom because she too has lost someone. No matter how many times her mom disappoints her, she won’t let her go. Because who knows what she would do without her.
As a result, Grace reconsiders her plans to go to college in New York, to be a pianist, because she cannot leave her mother behind. Grace feels obligated to stand by her mother even when she hurts her and ultimately hurts others. She’s an alcoholic and is incredibly selfish. Instead, she relies on Grace at a young age to take care of her. Her mother, not prepared to take on the responsibility of being a mother stops being a mother. It’s always been the two of them since Grace’s father died when she was two. How To Make a Wish surrounds the relationship between Grace and her mother Maggie. Lemme just get this out there because this is important: THERE IS BISEXUAL REPRESENTATION ON THE PAGE. There is so much that this book did right and I’m going to lay it out there for you so that you will go read this book and hopefully love it. More books with queer characters because one day a queer girl like me will read this and it will inspire her and she’ll be able to relate to it. It was well written and we need more books like this. It’s about a girl making the decision to put herself first. It’s about a girl who had to grow up too fast. It’s about a girl with a mother who isn’t a mother. 5/5 – This book won’t be easy for me to talk about.
