Summary (provided by publisher): A nerdy teenage girl discovers a magical book that gives her the power to re-write her life, but magic always comes with a cost.
What happens when you can finally get everything you ever wanted?
Willow Sparks and her best friend Georgia Pratt are at the bottom of the social ladder at Twin Pines High School, just trying to get through each day relatively unscathed. But when Willow finds a mysterious book that allows her to literally change her life, it feels like her luck is finally turning. As she becomes more and more popular with each entry into the book, her old life, including her friendship with Georgia, seems miles away. Yet as Willow will discover, every action has a reaction, and the future has unusual—even dangerous—ways of protecting itself.
My opinion: I was pretty into this book for the first 3/4. The plot is clear and well supported by the illustrations. Not particularly complex, but not every book has to be a head scratcher. The problem is, the plot sort of falls apart in the final act. What had been centered on a clear progression falls into loose conjecture and a sudden ending.
