The Secret Ingredient of Wishes | Susan Bishop Crispell
19 posts | 15 read | 47 to read
26-year-old Rachel Monroe has spent her whole life trying to keep a very unusual secret: she can make wishes come true. And sometimes the consequences are disastrous. So when Rachel accidentally grants an outlandish wish for the first time in years, she decides it's time to leave her hometown-and her past-behind for good. Rachel isn't on the road long before she runs out of gas in a town not on her map: Nowhere, North Carolina-also known as the town of "Lost and Found." In Nowhere, Rachel is taken in by a spit-fire old woman, Catch, who possesses a strange gift of her own: she can bind secrets by baking them into pies. Rachel also meets Catch's neighbor, Ashe, a Southern gentleman with a complicated past, who makes her want to believe in happily-ever-after for the first time in her life. As she settles into the small town, Rachel hopes her own secrets will stay hidden, but wishes start piling up everywhere Rachel goes. When the consequences threaten to ruin everything she's begun to build in Nowhere, Rachel must come to terms with who she is and what she can do, or risk losing the people she's starting to love-and her chance at happiness-all over again.

#AugustGrrrl #GenieinaBottle I have no books about genies in my stacks so I went with the whole "I can make your wish come true" thing. Here are 4 books with 'wish' in the title--two that I've read & enjoyed: As You Wish ??? & The Things We Wish Were True) & two (the tagged book & The Secrets of Wishtide) that are in my #TBR stacks.???

Cinfhen Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 7y
DebinHawaii @Cinfhen And I realize I forgot to do something for yesterday's prompt. 😬It's that kind of week. 7y

This is the most summery book I've read all summer, in fact, the heat in North Carolina is practically a character. I don't read a lot of magical realism but every time I do I enjoy it. (Note to self) I loved Nowhere, I angsted with Rachel, I swooned over Ashe, and I spent 280 pages wishing I had a Catch in my life. And at the end I was left wanting more all while being pleased this is a one off.

Mehso-so

I like the first two-thirds of this book. I enjoyed the writing ... unfortunately the ending just didn't stand up to the start.

I am unsettled ... I have started this book, I am 50 pages into the Handmaid's tale, and a few poems into Night Sky with Exit Wounds... I am just jumping around from book to book... time to get up and do housework for awhile.

Stopping by the bookstore before my lecture this evening (have you ever met anyone browsing bookstore shelves in a tuxedo? 😂), I've come across this very intriguing selection. Anyone read this yet?! Sounds amazing!

GlitteryOtters I have! Actually, when I worked at a noted local bookstore, we had people come by for wedding pics, so I've seen both multiple tuxedo-clad patrons AND a bride & bridesmaids browsing the books between photos 😂👍👍 8y
Lynnsoprano Might be worth adding to TBR for the cover alone. And now I'm wondering what kind of pie it is. 8y
rachelm Haven't read yet but the author is a lovely person to follow on twitter! Positive personality which is rare these days on social media! 8y
