A quick dusting of precious sweetness from the sweet old couples tin and the cakes complete, till Rheas boss walks in, Then dreams turn to nightmares, in more ways than one, and Rheas out on the street looking for another job,
There are some pleasingly disconcerting details in this short story as Rhea learns more than she ever wanted about secrets of the male anatomy.
But the secrets she needs to learn are her own desires, and its not her fault her guides prove so inept,

Disclosure: I was lucky enough to get this ebook free and I found it a very enjoyable short read,
I found this story weird and maybe disturbing, But at the same time it had some cute things, Rhea works in a bakery for her boss Paul, He hates heart cakes and they are not allowed in the bakery EVER, One day an old couple married foryears comes in and wants her to surprise them with an anniversary cake, And they give her some magic dust to sprinkle on it, Well after everything, Paul has a fit and fires her, She makes up unknowingly making a wish and then licking the magic dust that is still on her fingers, The wish totally backfires, and was a little weird with the events that followed, It is all a strange setup to get Paul and Rhea together, Not sure I would ever recommend this book, Short and Sweet
Sometimes it's really difficult for two stubborn people to come together, In this short, but sweet story, it takes a bit of magic, I'm the end, all falls into place, Short. Trite. PredictableThe Wishing Cake is a cute, quick novelette, The story is fastpaced, and the book was over before I realized the end was drawing near, From the blurb, I did not expect the events to unfold the way they did or for the magic to react the way it did, so I was surprised on a couple of occasions.
This short story was a fun way to spend a couple of hours, Cute! Would have been pretty insipid without the Murakamistyle twist, but I'm a sucker for that kind of thing, Characterization weak in places, but there wasn't a lot of room for development, A satisfying short read. This is a fast paced novelette that has romance and intrigue with a twist, You will come away wanting more, I loved it! The story started off with great potential, a nice mystery, some unrequited love, likeable character, I'm not sure what happened, but it rushed into a strange, unsatisfying ending, The quality of the first part makes me wonder what the author could have done with more time, Glad it was a kindle free read, Good story SPOILER but a bit confused who the old couple were, why the fish god dies at the end and why they had to get them together in the first place One wish can change everything.

My PhilosophyWhen I was active at Goodreads, a friend wrote to ask me why I gave all my booksout ofstars, and here's my response: It's a valid question, and the answer is that if I don't like a book, I don't review it.
Believe me, there are plenty of books that I think deserve one or two, but I steer clear, This is a matter of personal philosophy, I'm happy to "recommend" books I love, and see no reason to slam the ones I don't, The market for novels is so abysmal that I'm about helping the authors I enjoy than doing anything to hurt the ones that aren't my cup of tea.
Clearly, I wasn't destined to be a book critic! sitelink,
