Don't You Wish by Roxanne St. Claire

When plain and unpopular Annie Nutter gets zapped by one of her dad's whacked-out inventions, she lands in a parallel universe where her life becomes picture-perfect. Now she's Ayla Monroe, daughter of the same mother but a different father—and she's the gorgeous, rich queen bee of her high school.


In this universe, Ayla lives in glitzy Miami instead of dreary Pittsburgh and has beaucoup bucks, courtesy of her billionaire—if usually absent—father. Her friends hit the clubs, party backstage at concerts, and take risks that are exhilirating . . . and illegal. Here she's got a date to lose her V-card with the hottest guy she's ever seen.


But on the inside, Ayla is still Annie.


So when she's offered the chance to leave the dream life and head home to Pittsburgh, will she take it?


The choice isn't as simple as you think.


Goodreads Summary


Annie Nutter lives an ordinary, but happy life with her parents and friends. A band geek and braces wearer, Annie is unpopular, but content. Her life is transformed, however, after an incident with one of her father’s inventions. Annie is thrown into an alternate universe in which her mother had married a man who became a millionaire. She lives in a glamorous house in Miami and is gorgeous. Annie’s life is perfect from the outside, but she misses her real father and hates her friends who are cruel, steal things they could easily afford to buy, and use drugs. Ordinary and happy is preferable to glitzy and miserable any day. After a short time living in this parallel universe, Annie just wants to return home, but can she?

Roxanne St. Claire created Annie to be funny, strong, and an overall good person. I liked reading about Annie as she explored her new world, making me laugh the entire time. Supporting characters all have distinct personalities as well, giving the plot line spice and making the book memorable. Don’t You Wish is a good book for teen and young adult girls. These readers would appreciate Annie’s humor and relate to her thoughts. I give this novel five out of five stars.
