About this ebook
A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy from the author of CONFESSIONS OF A FORTY-SOMETHING F##K UP!
Heather Hamilton is always wishing for things. Not just big stuff - like world peace or for a date with Brad Pitt - but little, everyday wishes, made without thinking. With her luck, she knows they'll never come true . . .
Until one day she happens across a lucky charm. Suddenly, the bad hair days stop; a handsome stranger answers her ad for a housemate; and she starts seeing James - The Perfect Man, who sends her flowers, excels in the bedroom, and isn't afraid to say 'I love you' . . .
But are these wishes-come-true a blessing - or a curse? And is there such a thing as too much foreplay?

I usually LOVE Alexandra Potter's books but I have to say I am really disappointed with 'be careful what you wish for' I felt like the book was rushed as if she couldn't be bothered writing it and the story was just slapped together which is a real shame. But honestly though SPELL CHECK???!!! don't books have to go through rigorous editing and spell check before they're published? The card from James was spelt "Jmeas" and also.. Eddie Bedder? It's Eddie Vedder! Disappointed Alexandra... sorry but I am...
