Down With the Shine by Kate Karyus Quinn

There’s a reason they say “be careful what you wish for.” Just ask the girl who wished to be thinner and ended up smaller than Thumbelina, or the boy who asked for “balls of steel” and got them-literally. And never wish for your party to go on forever. Not unless you want your guests to be struck down by debilitating pain if they try to leave.
These are things Lennie only learns when it’s too late-after she brings some of her uncles’ moonshine to a party and toasts to dozens of wishes, including a big wish of her own: to bring back her best friend, Dylan, who was abducted and murdered six months ago.
Lennie didn’t mean to cause so much chaos. She always thought her uncles’ moonshine toast was just a tradition. And when they talked about carrying on their “important family legacy,” she thought they meant good old-fashioned bootlegging.
As it turns out, they meant granting wishes. And Lennie has just granted more in one night than her uncles would grant in a year.
Now she has to find a way to undo the damage. But once granted, a wish can’t be unmade…
I can't wait to read this one myself. Ever since I saw it, I've been curious. I hope we both enjoy it!

It does sound wonderful. Hopefully, it lives up to my expectations.
I have been waiting for this one since I first saw it. The more I see, the more impatient I get. At least the wait is ending soon. Great choice!
I am so ready to read this one, Barb. I hope you love it too!
Oh I so could use a wish-granting moonshine right about now…or just moonshine. Lol.
I would love some wish granting and some moonshine 🙂
I've seen this one around. It's got me intrigued, but I'm not totally sure it's my kind of read. I'll have to look at some early reviews.
Hope you enjoy it. 🙂
I haven't read any review for it yet but I like the sound of it.
I absolutely love her other two books, so heck yes I looking forward to this one.
I haven't read her work yet. I am happy to hear that you have enjoyed her previous books. I hope you love this one too.
