Life is better with more money...right?

The grass is always greener on the other side of the parallel dimension that you think will get you the perfect life but really turns out to be not so great and you regret your decision to even go there. Isn't that how the saying goes? Don't you Wish by Roxanne St. Claire explores exactly what happens when fates, science, and wishes combine to catapult a teenage girl into the dream life she always wanted.  Annie, the female lead in this story, is quite a 'real' character.  She feels complete; her decisions are in line with her personality.  And oh the hilarity as she throws everyone for a loop when she enters an alternate reality where nothing she does makes sense for the girl she's supposed to be.  Nice side plots about family, choices, and humanity.  It was a crazy ride, but I salute anyone who tries to talk quantum mechanics with teenagers.  Roxanne, I salute thee!  I also give you 4 out of 5 electronic mirrors as a bonus.
