This modern fairy tale will please those who wish upon a star, or a cake. Flora Scurrison lives a stale life as a 32 year old, nine-to-fiver.  Her life is mystically changed when she wishes on the cutting of her best friend’s wedding cake to be 16 again.  She is dropped into the life of sixteen year old Flora Scurrison; dealing with boys (old flames and new), school (along with the teachers she once had when she was truly 16), and friends and family. The main character is relatable to young and old readers seeking “chick lit”, but one that has a deeper, universal meaning. The book does have some mature content, notably one suggestive sexual act and many uses of profane language by the characters, which gives the book’s reader a necessity for a mature mind.  The downside to this marvelous coming of age (literally) story is the way the transformation only affects some.  Flora’s life is changed, and so are her parents.  But those others who play a key role in her life are left at the age of 32.  Three of these are the only ones who do recognize her as her old sixteen year old self, causing some confusion for the reader. However, the reader can quickly get over that as the story progresses.  The humorous plot and characters leave the reader wanting more, while they can leave not feeling as if they just read a “bubblegum” book.   Highly Recommended
