Description
When Billy Rendell suddenly gets everything she wants, it turns out to be the last thing she needs...A long-awaited promotion. Freedom from emotional baggage. A newly--ahem--amorous husband. What's wrong with this picture? Well...everything. For starters, Billy hasn't actually earned any of it. Instead, like some character in a fairy tale, this stuck-in-a-rut publicist had all her wishes granted overnight--which feels great, at first. But soon Billy's brand-new success starts to show more unravel--who'd have thought becoming a VP would be so Very Painful? Or that a harmless crush on a co-worker would turn not-so-harmless now that he's crushing back? It'll take a surreal, rollicking, high-stakes journey for Billy to realize what she really wants out of life...before it's too late.

This is a light book that conveys messages such as "be careful what you wish for" and "take responsibility for your own life." It's about Billy, who receives a frog charm from her therapist and wakes up the next day to find that all her wishes have come true. It doesn't take long until Billy realizes that her new, so-called perfect life isn't exactly what she'd wanted after all. Ultimately, she decides to address her problems and act toward fixing them. This story, like a fable, is a vehicle for conveying a moral.
Kind of far fetched (err very far fetched), but still very interesting and a fast read. It was amusing and total brain candy!
Best book by Caldwell. I finished it in one weekend. It was that good! It was magical.
