*** Au & NZ iBooks Best of 2013 Breakout Book Of The Year ***
For Charli Blake, being seventeen is a tough gig.
She's been branded a troublemaker, her reputation is in tatters and she's stuck in Pipers Cove, a speck of a town on the coast of Tasmania.
Thankfully, it's temporary. Her lifelong dream of travelling the world is just months away from becoming reality. All she has to do is ride out the last few months of high school, which is easier said than done thanks to a trio of mean girls known as The Beautifuls.
When Adam Décarie arrives in town, all the way from New York, life takes an unexpected turn. His arrival sets off a chain of events that alters her life forever, convincing her of one thing. Fate brought him to her.
Saving Wishes is the story of a girl who doesn't quite fit the life she's living, and the boy who helps her realise why.

Plesantly surprisedAt first, i was worried at how fast the storyline started. As i continued reading i was drawn in by each page. The characters all have their own essence that is written beautifully. Each characters strenghs and weaknessess dont take over the story making it too dramtic. It is always at a perfect balance. These are characters with real life problems and it was easy to relate to. one of the best Aussie books I've read! I love this world!.Score: 5/5

Awesome Series!UPDATE: I can’t tell you how many times I have read this book now, and I love it just as much each time. Charli is like a kindred spirit to me. Even though she is only 17, and she does do things that any 17 year old will do, she also has maturity beyond her years. Fate steps in and Charli meets the delectable Adam who I just adore. I’m on a pilgrimage now to re read the entire series. Saving Wishes is the first book in a fabulous series by GJ Walker-Smith. This book not only has become one of my favourite series, but has opened up a new world to me. I discovered this book on iTunes for free - which it still is. I couldn't put it down and finished it very quick, but I had to have more. I then discovered that it was part of a series and quickly downloaded the next book. GJ Walker-Smith is one of a few authors that I pre order and one click without hesitation. Saving Wishes is set in a little town of Tasmania Australia. Charli is a teen finishing her last year at school and then she is out of there. That is until she meets Adam, who has come to visit his cousin. This couple has a banter you are going to love. Their romance is so sweet. Charli shows Adam around La La Land which he adores. This story will take you on highs and lows with it's twists and turns. If you are a true romantic, as I am, you are going to love this book and series. It is a special must read that I am happy to recommend..Score: 5/5

A rare treasure..Initially, I was skeptical whilst reading this book. But these doubts instantly vanished as I continued reading. Charli is a dreamer, and viewing the world through her eyes makes you wonder how much magic you fail to see in the world. Cue the arrival of Adam, and both of their lives change instantly. Saying anymore would not provide justice to the story. The depth given to the characters in this book is often lacking in others. But my personal favourite relationship would be between Alex and Charli. Both share a bond so sweet and understated, you can only admire the literary skills of the author. I always think the quality of a book is based on how long it takes to detach yourself from the story and its after reading. So saying that this book continues to be part of my thoughts days after completion is the highest praise from an avid reader like myself..Score: 5/5
