Jesse is a 15 year old girl who is battling cancer. Alex is a reclusive game designer. Their worlds collide when Jesse makes a wish and Alex is tasked with making it happen.
Jesse's wish is rather complex and hasn't been done before. Alex isn't sure he can make it happen or if he wants to but the more he leans about Jesse the more motivation he has to make it come to fruition. Complications arise but Alex is determined to get past them regardless of the cost.
The Wish is emotional and deals with the reality of love and grief. The book feels off and reads more like a movie script which makes it a bit difficult to fully immerse yourself into. I struggled to continue reading it but pushed forward based on Jesse's character. The first and last quarter of the book make the read worth it but the middle is sluggish.
** I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
