Book description

15 years ago Angie, Rosemary & Kirby wished on "Bob, the comet". Angie wished for something exciting to happen next time "Bob" came around & granted their wishes, and did she get her wish come true with Ethan. Rosemary wished for Willis, to get what was coming to him, which also came true. Now its Kirby's turn for hers. James is an internationally known playboy peeping tom who tells everyone in Endicott that he has seen Kirby naked. Kirby wished for a true love that would last for ever. What she gets is James who shows her where she is going wrong with the local eligible bachelors. She is also the towns nice girl who is also a virgin at the age of 30. Some of the things she has tried in the past to attract the men are hillarious. Kirby's problem is that the men of Endicott either think of her as a sister or daughter & can't see any man doing that to her. Until James comes to town & things change for Kirby with his help.
