Laughed out loud so many times

I happened to come across this book at the airport in Japan, read the back cover and a couple of pages, and was hooked! I bought it and finished it on the ride back to the States. The people sitting around me on the plane were giving me odd looks because I kept snickering. Alexandra Potter is brilliant and she writes genuinely- which is tough to find in authors these days. I have lent this book to several of my girlfriends and they have thoroughly enjoyed it as well. Keep an open mind- it is fiction, and it is chick lit! Have fun and happy reading :)

"In the circle of purification, there's no place for superstition or tawdray charms, Heather!"

Be Careful What You Wish For is a nicely done concept about Heather Hamilton, who comes by some "lucky heather" from a gypsey, and watches in amazement as her entire life begins to change. Traffic jams clear up, the perfect pink shoes appear -- and so does the perfect man! But, sometimes what you wished for is not as dear as what finds you by mere "mortal means." And when issues of life and death enter the picture, Heather's view of what is important radically changes, bringing into focus what truly matters. Alexandra Potter has provided readers with some fun moments and cute characters that move the story along nicely. It's an entertaining, light read.
