It Started with a Wish looks like an ordinary run of the mill chick-lit book. However, this is one with a difference. It is more of a mystery story as the main character, Sophia Jordan, seems to be plagued by a ghost from her past.
Super successful and beautiful to boot, Sophia seems to have it all. Living in an upmarket apartment with the love of her life, the inevitable next step is marriage and babies. All of a sudden inexplicable events start to happen. Her apartment is broken into twice, nothing is missing and there is no sign of a break-in. Certain personal items start to disappear and Sophia feels like someone is watching her every move.
Cutting all ties to those that she loves, Sophia runs away. Foolishly believing that relocation will protect her from the ghosts of her past, she settles into her new life. But before long the mysterious happenings start again and Sophia realises that she can run but she will never be able to hide.
The most appealing thing about this book is that it is somewhat different. However, unfortunately, Rodgers hasn’t quite managed to carry it off. I look forward to her next venture, though, as I do feel she has promise.
