Okay I've just finished Wishful Thinking and here's what I'm thinking
The book is actually decent and fun! Quite light, but also entertaining and sends an important message about the honesty in journalism. I admit the progress is a bit slow at first, but halfway through it, it gets very interesting!
MC has a good character development. She goes from a behind-the-curtains writer to a full-on detective & brave reporter! It takes a lot of courage to expose the truth especially in a scary political climate.
I initially don't really like the way PB portrays Ellen? It feels forced, like pitting an amazing woman vs another amazing woman. PB sounds like Alec lmaooo. But Ellen is written much better towards the end and I love it.
And now onto LIs. I'm sorry but as much as I love all three of them, Aubrey is the one who's constantly forced down our throat. 😩 I didn't take any diamond scene to romance any of the LIs, but I think Aubrey gets the most chance of having romance points with MC compared to the other two LIs. All I wanted was to kiss Jaime at the end but it's Audrey who came. 😔
OH CAN I ALSO ADD THAT ANNA KOISHI IS SO FREAKING GORGEOUS
and jinx, the sassy princess. i felt rOBBED WHEN I BOUGHT THAT DIAMOND. I WANTED MORE SCENE WITH JINX BUT ALL I GOT WAS JUST OCCASIONAL APPEARANCES.
AND THE EMUS. THEY DON'T GET ENOUGH SCREEN TIME EITHER. Especially since they're the ones who appear on the cover. 😤 #JusticeForEmus
I really thought Wishful Thinking was going to be some silly fun, and in some ways it was, but I found it really wholesome and heartwarming too.
MC went from being someone with barely enough confidence to ask for a promotion to someone who was taking down a corrupt politician and an entire compromised news studio with dramatic flair and style.
The mind-reading was nicely done and enhanced the story and there's a lot more potential to develop that further.
The characters were amazing. The side characters may have been reused faces, but they were sparky and fun. We got to move on from our pointless rivalry with Ellen and become coconspirators, friends and lovers (next stop, girlfriend). Jaime and Anna are two god tier LIs and Aubrey was very sweet too and I know I'm not ready to let them go just yet.
So...

I’m replaying Wishful Thinking and now I’m in missing Aubrey Watson Hours. 😭
