This book has a similar plot to time travel stories where someone who goes back in time changes the present. Except in this case, everything is changed by an innocent coin toss in a fountain and wish by the main character Ava. She has recently enrolled in a new school and one of the girls is determined to get her expelled; Ava wishes the girl's family had never been a part of the school. The author did such a good job of describing the bullying and the resulting angst felt by Ava that at times I felt myself cringing. While it is similar to those plots I mentioned, the story is quite refreshingly new.

This is a fast book to read; however, it's also very well written. The ending was quite a surprise, and I honestly wasn't completely sure if a certain wish made by someone else didn't have a lot to do with how things turned out.
