Convince us to read the book: It’s an easy read. You will enjoy it all the way through. There are no dry parts; it will keep your mind engaged!
Compelling Aspect of the Book: A young girl has three wishes, to earn the Monterey fellowship with her journalism, win over her crush, and to look as hot as the most popular girl at her school. To fulfill these wishes she turns to a book of astrology that promises a life changing experience. But there is one thing getting in the way, a group of pranksters known as The Gears are creating a lot of uproar around her school.
Did the cover tempt you and/or reflect the contents: The cover did not draw me in from the picture of the girl. I was interested in the title though. The cover did give the main character an image other than leaving it up to the reader to visualize her.
