Summary
Eldon is guaranteed to have one wish come true, but with chaos surrounding him, how is he supposed to choose?
In the sandy Mojave Desert, Madison is a small town on the road between nothing and nowhere. But Eldon wouldn't want to live anywhere else because in Madison, everyone gets one wish - and that wish always comes true.
Some people wish for money; some people wish for love. But Eldon has seen how wishes have broken the people around him. And with the lives of his family and friends in chaos, he's left with more questions than answers. Can he make their lives better? How can he be happy if the people around him aren't? And what hope is there for any of them if happiness isn't an achievable dream?
Doubts build, leading Eldon to a more outlandish and scary thought: Maybe you can't wish for happiness - maybe, just maybe, you have to make it for yourself.

Makes you think about how you would make a wish if you were ever given one.
Great story and thought provoking into just wishing for what you want without thinking of the consequences of the long term. Would recommend

Out of left field
Spoiler Alert - don’t read in public. This seems a normal book at the start but soon you become engulfed in the story of the people of Madison and starting to think of what would you do. It pulls no punches!

Unexpectedly good
It was different and although I thought it might be too far fetched it was sweet with good characters, a brilliant freebie by Audible and I’ll look out for more from this author

So clever
I love the idea of magic in a real life setting so I was intrigued by the concept of the story. Have to say, I really enjoyed it. I listened in one day and stayed awake waaay beyond bedtime to reach the conclusion. The one thing I’d change, maybe, is to extend the ending to give a future-take, although the ending was absolutely as it should have been and felt right.
Thanks for this lovely gift, it’s amazing how many new authors I’ve found from ‘included in membership’ reads!

Makes you think and wonder about what you want in life and how those choices will affect you. I don’t usually like American narrators but loved this guys voice.

Simple but entertaining story
This is well read, not particularly exciting but quite engaging. Loved the characters and their descriptions.
