Twenty Wishes - Debbie Macomber - ★★★★.½

AUTHOR: Debbie Macomber

SERIES: Blossom Street, #5

GENRE: Women's Fiction

PUBLICATION DATE: May 1, 2008

RATING: 4.5 stars.

As readers, especially as women readers, we tend to take chick-lit for granted. It is an essential part of our lives, but as it is looked upon with disdain by "serious" readers, we don't really consider chick-lit as reading. By extension, we hardly ever post reviews of such books except in a few rare cases. So here's the change I'll make: I'll post about any and every good book I read, irrespective of genre. I now venture to clear my name and prove that I can and do enjoy chick-lit! 😜

By far, my favourite chick-lit author is Debbie Macomber. And just this week, I have read Twenty Wishes. This is part of the Blossom Street series, but I haven't read any other book from the series so far as each book is standalone.

Twenty wishes has almost everything a reader (or dare I say, a female reader) could want in a book. It has not one but four strong female lead characters, and in the course of their personal struggles, they decide to come up with Twenty Wishes, a bucket list of wishes for their own happiness and not for others. How they go through the next year with this list in mind and how it changes their lives forms the crux of the story.

It's a typical feel-good read, and will leave you feeling cozy and happy at the end, which is what chick-lit is about, right? 😊

Go for Debbie Macomber! She's one of the best!
