**Careful What You Wish For by Maureen McCarthy - Preloved Paperback**

Ever wondered what happens when your deepest desires actually come true? Spoiler alert: it's messier than you think. This gripping young adult novel follows teenagers navigating the treacherous waters of getting exactly what they thought they wanted - with deliciously unexpected consequences.

McCarthy expertly weaves themes of identity, friendship, and the dangerous gap between fantasy and reality. Perfect for teens who've outgrown fairy tales but still love a good "what if" scenario, plus adults who remember being seventeen and thinking they had life figured out (spoiler: they didn't).
