Description
"This thrilling roller coaster of a story has more plot twists than a pretzel. Once you start, you won't be able to stop until you've devoured every last page."-KJ Fieler, author of Shadow Runner
Ana feels invisible in high school-that is, until she literally turns invisible. When masked men come for her genius best friend, Isaac, she swallows the invisibility pill he gives her and avoids being kidnapped alongside him. Though Ana escapes, she must find Isaac for an antidote within one week. If she doesn't, she'll remain invisible forever, which could mean insanity and death.
To make matters worse, the kidnappers are after her next. If they can't get what they want from Isaac, they'll extract the invisibility formula from her veins.
Desperately searching for clues, Ana finds hidden messages from Isaac, including a love letter she never saw coming. Her feelings are further muddled when rookie cop Ben, her former crush, comes looking for her, believing she's responsible for Isaac's disappearance. Though Isaac swore her to secrecy about the invisibility pill, Ana's time is running short. She must decide whether or not to get Ben's help by telling him the truth, even if it means betraying Isaac's trust.
Find out what happens in Wish I Was Here, the first suspenseful young adult romance in the Wish Trilogy by Ilsa Rey.
