When you wish upon a star is the song we all grew up with but in this novel by Alexandra Bullen , the character is wishing upon butterflies.

Review: Wish - Book #1 Wish Series - Alexandra Bullen - January 2010
This summer for Olivia , life is going to get interesting and it may perk her up as last summer Olivia's family suffered a tragedy tearing them all apart , Olivia's twin sister Violet died and then Olivia's family moved to a new town to start a fresh . Her mum Bridget in a new job and her dad Mac busy refurbishing their house. Olivia feeling incomplete heads downtown to the small shopping square and spots a shop called Mariposa's Emporium . The shop has a secret though , it is in fact filled with Magic and the owner now the grandaughter Posey makes magic dresses . Each dress contains three wishes in the form of golden butterflies and comes with a list of rules like most wishing novels with of course the ol' Don't wish for someone to fall in love with you , Don't wish for more wishes etc. Olivia tired of being alone wishes for her sister Violet and of course she returns as a ghost and thats where the fun begins as Violet being the outgoing one is teaching Olivia the tricks of the trade and re-inventing herself and it works as Olivia goes from being invisible to Miss Popular and with the nickname Madonna. However, as Olivia is about to learn being popular comes with
strings attached and a whole set of new rules including who dates who and who does what . With this new life though, will Olivia lose herself and what's important in her life ?
Find out about what can happen when three wishes can turn into a domino effect of decisions and consequences - some great and others not so great.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens.

I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
