Three Wishes

Yes, this book is a definite tear jerker and the author makes no apologies for it. However, the characters are believable and you want them to find a hapy ending. This is the story of a small town waitress who finds love with a writer, who she is meets when they are involved in an accident. The main female lead almsot dies as a result of the accident and comes back to life believing she has been given 3 wishes. But what happens after she uses them up. I found this book sad, but not maudlin at all. The characters refuse to feel sorry for themselves and they engross the reader in the journey for love and salvation. This is one of my Delinsky favorites.

Of all the books I have read in my life (33 yrs old, married, mom of 2), this has to be one of the BEST books that I have EVER read. The book has a wonderful story line of hope, love, friendship, and compassion. It is truely a MUST READ book for any woman who enjoys just a "Good Story" book. ALso try reading Coast Road- another GREAT Barbara Delinsky story!

I read this about a year ago, and still refer to it when someone asks for a book to read. I think I cried for the last 50 pages, non-stop. If you have any romance in you, you must read this one.

I am not a Delinsky fan, but I read this book through in one sitting. I was throughly impressed with her decision to end the book the way she did. Too often we get the happy ending we all expect rather than an honest conclusion to a story. It was an unexpected surprise. I did cry and sob, but it was by far worth it!

I am an avid reader. I can easily finish a novel a day. I have never cried reading a book. That is until I read "Three Wishes". You feel so in-touch with the characters Bree and Tom. You feel their sorry, their happiness, and their frustrations. A MUST to read if you do not like the normal, sappy romances. I couldn't put it down!
