Wishin' and Hopin'

Wishin' and Hopin' by Wally Lamb
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Historical fiction/ Christmas Physical book
Set in the 1960’s, this is a cute, little story about adolescent boys. I must say the author captures this age group pretty well. It’s a bit crude, but it’s funny and cute. I’ll give it three stars.

Favorite Quotation

“I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.” ― Marjorie Pay Hinckley
