I recently checked out What We Wished For from Ilias Kyriazis and really liked it. Humanoids delivered another great book.

The stories about a group of kids who get wishes from a supernatural being while a comet is passing Earth. Their wishes start to come true 38 years later.

Unlimited cake? Super powers? Being a boy? Your crush loving you? Being the best skateboarder ever? These are the things that young children wish for – not adults in their 40s. So, what happens when those wishes are thrust on the lives of middle-aged folks?

Chaos.

The story kept me on my toes, and I was unable to really predict where the story was going. I appreciated that aspect. The story was just flat out engaging.

I was 100% drawn to this book based on the cover alone. The old man doing a flip while skateboarding looked like so much fun. I felt like I had to check it out. The artwork throughout the book was awesome. One of my favorite things about it was that once the kids were adults, they were all very distinct. I was never second-guessing which character I was looking at when they were on the page.

I really liked this book, and I highly recommend it to everyone. It was fantastic.

Thank you Netgalley and Humanoids for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

You can pick up the book here.
