Book ~ "Be Careful What You Wish for" - Alexandra Potter (2006)

From Goodreads ~ 'I wish I could get a seat on the tube! I hadn't eaten that entire bag of Maltesers! I could meet a man whose hobbies include washing up and monogamy!' 

Heather Hamilton is always wishing for things. Not just big stuff - like world peace or for a date with Brad Pitt - but little, everyday wishes, made without thinking. With her luck, she knows they'll never come true! 

Until one day she buys some heather from a gypsy. Suddenly the bad hair days stop; a handsome American answers her ad for a housemate; and she starts seeing James - The Perfect Man who sends her flowers, excels in the bedroom, and isn't afraid to say 'I love you'! But are these wishes-come-true a blessing or a curse?

The last couple of books I've read have been fairly heavy so I was looking for something light. And this chick lit definitely hit the spot.

It was a fun fast read. The writing was entertaining.

I'd recommend it if you are looking for a light read.
