The first book of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling series!
For Rose Gardner, working at the DMV on a Friday afternoon is bad even before she sees a vision of herself dead. She’s had plenty of visions, usually boring ones like someone’s toilet’s overflowed, but she’s never seen one of herself before. When her overbearing momma winds up murdered on her sofa instead, two things are … things are certain: There isn’t enough hydrogen peroxide in the state of Arkansas to get that stain out, and Rose is the prime suspect.
Rose realizes she’s wasted twenty-four years of living and makes a list on the back of a Wal-Mart receipt: twenty-eight things she wants to accomplish before her vision comes true. She’s well on her way with the help of her next door neighbor Joe, who has no trouble teaching Rose the rules of drinking, but won’t help with number fifteen– do more with a man. Joe’s new to town, but it doesn’t take a vision for Rose to realize he’s got plenty secrets of his own.
Somebody thinks Rose has something they want and they’ll do anything to get it. Her house is broken into, someone else she knows is murdered, and suddenly, dying a virgin in the Fenton County jail isn’t her biggest worry after all.
“Though much of the book is light-hearted and occasionally outright hilarious, the author sneaks in a few home truths along the way that will hit you where it counts, like how even someone’s best intentions can box you in.” –Everybody Needs a Little Romance
“This was one of those books that I kept telling myself one more page, then I need to put it down. Instead I found myself tearing through the book instead, needing to know the outcome.” –Just Jump Book Reviews

Well written. Made it very hard to put the book down. Characters were well developed.
i like a lite read with some humor and mystery..
I read the book in two days it really kept my interest and I didn’t want to put it down. I had no idea what the ending with me and it was surprising. Was a great read I highly recommend it. It was so good I downloaded the sequel immediately and started reading that.
This book was very easy to read and kept my attention from beginning to end. I did figure out some of the “mystery”, but it certainly didn’t ruin the story for me. The main characters were well-developed and very likeable. I would recommend it for someone who is interested in light reading.
Okay plot, okay romance, If only the proofreading was better done. The best part is the unusual heroine. The “man” is a standard hero next door and the plot is not difficult to figure out before the heroine does.
Really enjoyed this book and will read more by same author.
The story had some funny parts and it was full of twists. I did not like that the character was always crying, but that is to be to expected once you learn about her life.
Twenty-eight and a Half Wishes was light, enjoyable and uplifting. I recommend it highly for those who enjoy feel good stories.
I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
I love the Rose Gardner books. They are fun to read, and I really like the characters. I will buy every book she writes in this series.
just nothing special

Couldn’t’ but it down !!!!!!!
