One Wish

by Mallory Hill

This is the story of Lucy Avery, your typical above-average student who finds herself, by miracle or mishap, among the top ranked students in the nation. From this elite group, a national valedictorian will be selected and awarded the most highly coveted honor known to the people of one unlimited wish. But as Lucy becomes deeper immersed in this world of high-stakes academia, she realizes there's more to the wish than a life of luxury. Between harboring government secrets, conducting a forbidden romance, and surviving in a dangerously competitive environment, Lucy is about to discover why power should always come with a limit.

[Barrie Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

A modern day 1984

Soon to be made into a "Made for Amazon movie"! OK, I made that up, but you never know. I absolutely loved this love story/science fiction about a future United States. Very good character development and an unexpected ending. Certainly worth $6 it was a 1 day read.
