And with the lives of his family and friends in chaos, he\u2019s left with more questions than answers. Can he make their lives better? How can he be happy if the people around him aren\u2019t? And what hope is there for any of them if happiness isn\u2019t an achievable dream?

Unlike every other kid in town, Eldon hasn&#8217;t decided on his wish. \u00a0The book counts down the thirty days before Eldon&#8217;s wish day, interspersed with &#8220;wish diaries&#8221; &#8211; recountings of other characters&#8217; wishes and the outcomes that Eldon is compiling in order to try to figure out what he wants to wish for.<\/p>\n<p>Eldon is seriously unlikeable. \u00a0I think, towards the end, that he did realize this and start taking steps to, well, not be such a huge jerk, but it really prevented me from connecting with him as a character at the start of the book. \u00a0Eldon is, basically, a screw-up, who, if he somehow manages into stumbling his way into doing the right thing, it&#8217;s for all the wrong reasons. \u00a0I&#8217;d like to think that the jerkiness is the result his sister&#8217;s recent tragedy, but it seems, from things the other characters say, that he&#8217;s been that way his entire life. \u00a0His aimless selfishness is a reflection of the town around him, though, which may have been the author&#8217;s intent.<\/p>\n<p>The main plot is pretty much as aimless as Eldon. \u00a0He hangs with his dad, gets badgered by his mom to wish for money, interviews townspeople, and basically acts like an ass to everyone, if he&#8217;s not getting into actual physical fights with them. \u00a0But, still, I did feel drawn to come back and finish the book every time I had to put it down. \u00a0I wanted to find out what Eldon&#8217;s wish would be, and if he&#8217;d actually grow the heck up.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s several weird side plots. \u00a0The first is that nobody in Madison believes in God, because they have wishes. \u00a0Oh, except for one girl, who meets a Mormon missionary in Las Vegas, but pretty much the whole town makes fun of her for that. \u00a0At one point, she tries to give the main character a copy of the Book of Mormon, and at another point asks them to take her to an LDS temple while they&#8217;re in Las Vegas. \u00a0I don&#8217;t understand the assertion that having wishes means that you can&#8217;t believe in God, and the whole subplot felt weird and forced. \u00a0The other was that one gay character decides to wish away his attraction to men, and then later meets someone who he realized he would&#8217;ve fallen in love with previously, except now the relationship won&#8217;t work because he has no romantic feelings. \u00a0Though I&#8217;m not that familiar with the ace\/aro community, this struck me as something that could be hurtful to them.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, while I did like this book, there were enough problems that I can&#8217;t give it four stars. \u00a0I will probably pick up the author&#8217;s next release, though, because I thought the idea and writing style were excellent, just not my taste for the execution.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Helping people is good, but it\u2019s also a two-way street.
