Line 1:
{{
''Wish'' and its companion novel ''Wishful Thinking'' by Alexandra Bullen share a pattern: An unhappy teenage girl brings her torn dress to a seamstress shop, but instead of getting it mended, she receives three magical dresses, each of which grants her one wish. Her problems are solved, but not before a certain amount of romance, drama and other complications.
Line 6:
In ''Wishful Thinking'', orphaned Hazel Snow travels back in time to meet her birth parents and persuade them not to give her up for adoption, but is it possible to change history?
