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

Love the whole series.
I stumbled upon this book one day when i decided to try reading again for fun. It was free for my kindle so I was like what the heck. I instantly fell in love with this book and was sad it was over, and then i discovered there were so many more that had been written and that it was part of series. I got very excited and bought all the box sets! I …
A Fun Read
very well written, keeps you engaged.
This was the book that started my extreme obsession with mystery. LOL It was a fast read and an easy read. I highly recommend this book and series to anyone that just wants a fun exciting read.
I was glued and couldn’t put it down till it was done. Denise knows how to tell a story. You feel like you really know the characters and find yourself rooting for them. I was cracking up and on the edge of my seat. LOVE this book and entire series!!
Why do female writers create protagonists who repeat the same self-questioning dialogue? It’s like using um and ah in a speech: boring! I feel like the writing in this book was close to being good, but falls into too many stereotypical cliches.
This was not what I was expecting at all.
Twenty-Eight and a half wishes is funny and a bit quirky and a true mystery book.
And I love the tiny bit of paranormal to it as well.
The thing is though I hardly liked any of the characters.
At All.
They best thing I liked at all about this was good ole tootin Muffy.
The whole town was twofaced …
Entertaining but preictable
This book had an interesting twist in it.
Loved the whole series
I really enjoyed this book. It had interesting twists.
Chic lit but not lacking any entertainment value
Easy to read, good story.
The book was somewhat predicable and lacked that page-turner magic.
It was easy to read and I enjoyed it – interesting characters!
I have read several of her books now and she is great
