Claudia, Lindsay, Gail, Mara, and Jill are about to find out that the old adage is true'they really should be careful what they wish for. At first their book club was like any other: talking, drinking wine, and maybe even discussing the book they've read. But when they read a novel about witchcraft and jokingly try one of the spells ... it works. Naturally the women are freaked out at'they're not witches! But what could be the harm in lighting some candles and making little wishes' Everyone has wishes'the perfect man, more time to yourself, a little extra cash ... When their book club morphs into Wish Club, the ladies find their real gift is for conjuring trouble. Their wishes start going awry, and they find themselves in strange, hilarious, and in some cases even dangerous predicaments. But as they search for someone who might be able to help, each of the women begins to discover that she may have the ability to make her own wishes come true. From the Trade Paperback edition.
