YA classic theme of Be careful what you wish for but with a modern tech feel.
Short story, well written, lots of details and gets you hooked and wanting to read more and find out what is gonna happen. Good story with great characters (good and bad) lots of emotions going on also.
This is a first from this author for me.
The ending was a bit of a surprise and was a great ending for this story

I would like to thank the publisher, author and NetGalley for the ARC of this book. Was lucky to have a chance to read it. The opinions and comments above are my own, honest and voluntary.

HiLo readers are a fantastic resource for readers, both those who struggle with various kinds of reading and those who just enjoy a great read. This is a brilliant addition to those lists.

I'm not sure about branding Eshana a misfit - plenty of people like to socialise online - but I can easily see the lure of the website. I wish there'd been more about how the other members helped to buoy each other up, but the HiLo format means sacrificing some details, and the story works perfectly without them.

My ebook copy had a problem where letters and words were repeated randomly in text messages and online messages, making it hard to read them, but the rest of the story was perfect and I was able to follow well enough, and I assume the actual version won't have that problem.

I really enjoyed this. It's a really interesting read and it was great watching Eshana slide unknowingly into this problem, and then fight like hell to get back out. This is going to be a great read and I foresee it being really popular.

Eshana is a bit of a social misfit. She feels more comfortable talking to people online than in person. One day she discovers a website that claims to be a safe space where young people can support each other in making their dreams come true. Eshana starts chatting with a person online, and weird things that happening in the real world when she makes a wish . It's a good read but not the best . I did enjoy reading it , it remind a little of the movie Wish Upon but ya version .
