I Wish I Might

I Wish I Might chronicles Caroline Presley’s journey from an unremarkable, invisible life to one that has women and men hanging on her every word.

The night Caroline Presley makes a wish on the first star her life changes overnight. When Lila Cutler, Editor-in-Chief of Lilac, decides she wants to move on, she picks Caroline as her replacement. Despite Caroline’s misgivings about whether the online magazine can continue its success, she accepts. Within a month, the media world is buzzing about Lilac’s new style maker. 

Soon the country’s most fabulous aestheticians, stylists, make-up artists, chefs, and trainers are at Caroline’s disposal and they are eager to please.

Her new position and popularity also bring new attention from the men in her life. Suddenly her crush Jack wants her attention. Brandon, the hot photographer, asks her out. Caroline doesn’t mind the mysterious circumstances behind her newfound success, but when she looks in their eyes, she wants to know the attraction and feelings are real and not just the power of the stars.
