Edit: June 5, 2022 is National Cancer Survivor Day, and I thought I'd recommend this book just in case anyone wants to read a book about cancer for that day. romcom a beautiful story = Just One Wish!

Another amazing book by Janette Rallison! I thought this was going to be a simple romantic comedy like [b:My Fair Godmother|4346365|My Fair Godmother (My Fair Godmother, #1)|Janette Rallison|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1316738522l/4346365._SY75_.jpg|4394287] was, but there were also more serious topics and spiritual questions involved. The main character's 6-year-old brother has a serious form of cancer, and this solemnity is beautifully mixed in with more humorous scenes throughout (such as Annika buying animals, pretending she's some animal keeper, and sneaking onto a movie set!). And then I cried near the end of the book. ( )

To each his own methinks.

I prefer well-written solid books.
This isn't it.
Honestly? I feel cheated. The book leaves much to be desired. ( )

You might catch yourself rolling your eyes every couple of pages. You might get a little too tired of Steve Raleigh's jaw. And you just might like the book in spite of all that. ( )

Ridiculous plot that wasn't beleivable at all. A teenage girl's brother has cancer and to make him feel better she decides to go find the star of his favorite TV show and try to convince him to come meet her brother. I couldn't help constantly rolling my eyes at this one. ( )

At first I was going to say that [b:Just One Wish|4570667|Just One Wish|Janette Rallison|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255919319s/4570667.jpg|4620018] was [b:The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight|10798416|The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight|Jennifer E. Smith|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327878253s/10798416.jpg|15464655] meets [b:Breathe|9501249|Breathe|Sloan Parker|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1325635652s/9501249.jpg|14386824]. And don't get me wrong, it was; it possessed the simple/believable/adorable romantic aspects of [b:The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight|10798416|The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight|Jennifer E. Smith|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327878253s/10798416.jpg|15464655] and the famous yet deep and caring super-star from [b:Breathe|9501249|Breathe|Sloan Parker|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1325635652s/9501249.jpg|14386824].

But [b:Just One Wish|4570667|Just One Wish|Janette Rallison|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255919319s/4570667.jpg|4620018] was so much more, it was profound yet simple, upsetting yet heart-warming and truly an amazing novel! Not only did I love the story, I loved how it was told; I found [a:Janette Rallison|184987|Janette Rallison|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1215107953p2/184987.jpg]'s writing easy to read and loved how she portrayed all of the characters of [b:Just One Wish|4570667|Just One Wish|Janette Rallison|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255919319s/4570667.jpg|4620018] whether they be annoying (Esme), talented yet peculiar (Mr.
Blasingame), cute and funny (Steven) or even just plane adorable and awe-inspiring (Jeremy), you can be sure she made you feel like you'd met these people, as if they were in fact a part of your life. At least, that's how I felt reading this.

More of the review to come ;) x

"This is my official third wish. I wish
that no matter what happens with the
cancer, my family will still be happy.
Especially Annika."
Were there ever sweeter word said by a six year old little boy?
