i could not finish this book as i found it a bit dull.

Stella Martens has always considered herself an average girl living an average life in the average town with the fitting name, Average, New Hampshire. That is until the day when Stella meets an angel that breaks code and tells Stella where she really came from. Stella just happens to be a fallen angel by the name of Vitrella.

Vitrella had chosen to be reborn as a human baby with no memory of her former self. Now that Stella has met an angel and knows her past she is told that she needs to fulfill Vitrella’s wish-granting quota without any supernatural help. As any modern teen would Stella takes to social media to find wishes to grant and when she thinks she’s found an easy enough task Stella sets to matchmaking.

Wish Upon a Fallen Star is a novella length read and the first book in the Average Angel series. The story was OK enough but a bit shallow with the length being so short. It did include several different things happening during the read but perhaps that’s why I felt it all lacked bit of depth and character development to rate a bit higher. I did enjoy the idea well enough though that I would probably continue to see what happens with Stella and her wishes in other installments of the series.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

I have to say that for the intended audience I thought it was well written and I am curious to see how the story enfolds in further installments. I don't know if I would recommend this for the young at heart adults in my circle however I would pass this on the my teen sister in law as a book she may enjoy.

For the Characters
I thought that Stella was well written and her quirky personality really shined. It was very easy to relate to her and chuckle along with her skepticism of her current situation. I honestly would love to see how she grows throughout her "quest".

Zach is still a bit of a mystery and came off more like eye candy than an actual major character. I am hoping that he evolves and that his character opens up a bit more so he has more substance.

The supporting characters were very fun and Aunt Jeannie is probably one of my favorites even though we did not see very much of her! I think she could be a real source of comedic relief and realism later on. She reminded me of that friend / family member who is not afraid to stand up for you but at the same time tell you you are an idiot.

As the plot progressed I loved the predicable but interesting twists and turns that the story made. You could really picture yourself there in the moment experiences the world that was created.

What if there was an angel asking you for help to save the world? Would you do it? What if there was a demon, possessing your little sister, trying to kill you? Would you still help others or save yourself? Stella is facing those questions when Zack tells her a story, the story about a fallen angel and how this angels soul is living inside her. And Stella is supposed to take on this fallen angels job, she has to fulfill wishes and keep the world from ending.
I liked Stella and that she has flaws like everybody else. She wants prove, is not accepting Zack's story without asking questions and even then she has a hard time believing, that she is capable to help people without having some kind of super power. But in the end she learns that everybody can do something to help. The only thing slightly uncomfortable for me was the thought that Stella was watching her parents having sex. That sounds not like something anybody would do. Besides that this was a good read and great start to a new series, and I want to know what more Stella learns about Vitrella and where Vito has disappeared and what Mal is going to do next.
I chose to read this book and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. Thank you, NetGalley and Felicity Green!
