I got this eBook when it was available as a free download from Amazon, I discovered this author on Twitter and this is the first book I've read from her so I had no idea what to expect.The prologue was very intriguing, it involved the police and raised many questions in my mind.  Chapter one came along with a mind, body and spirit fair which introduced me to the main characters - Ruth was very likeable but a bit of a worrier (the reason for the worrying was revealed later on in the book) and she had found herself in rather an uncomfortable situation.  Petra seemed like quite a detached character to begin with, particularly where relationships were concerned but then her obsessiveness shone through and I found myself cringing at some of her excessive online antics.  Sarah was moody and very selfish, once I had gotten further into the story I discovered the reason for this and I have to admit that following her on a downward spiral was difficult to read.The wishing stone brought these women together in a very clever way and the results were entertaining but also quite worrying, especially the drug use.  There were a few moments of laughter for me and I loved the way the author had included Facebook throughout with talk of status updates, friend requests and all the social etiquette that goes along with it, this was a part of the book that I could really relate to.As I read the last few pages I laughed at what it all meant and found myself looking back at the whole story in a different way.  The message that I took from the book is to be careful what you wish for because you just might get it!This was an interesting and thought-provoking read, I look forward to reading more from this author.
