'When you're sixteen, everything is a soap opera.'
Summer is finally over. The town of Athea can once again return to its boring schedule. That is, until an accident. An accident that changes everyone.
Mostly, it changes sixteen-year-old Aaron Adler. His life is torn apart when his father, the only man in his life who's ever been there for him, is tragically killed in that accident. And on the night he receives the news, Aaron makes a wish. A wish his father wasn't dead. A wish the world was like those soap operas his friend, Eleanor, liked. And to his absolute shock, his wish is granted.
As Aaron deals with the consequences of his actions, a serial killer is loose and wreaking havoc in Athea. And Aaron and his friends have found themselves caught up in the murders.
With no one else seeming to care about the murders, it's fallen to Aaron and his friends to catch the killer and undo the wish but at what cost?

Why was there a boy in my room? There was a boy in my room! "Shoo, shoo." I whacked him with the umbrella as he backed up next to the window. All I did was make a wish. Just a few words I called a sentence and a few sentences I called a paragraph. How was I supposed to know that it would turn out like this. What even was this? I was him. He was me. We were...we? "How can I be you!" I shouted in panic. This wasn't making sense. He? Me? We're...us? "Because I'm you." He answered calmly and my mouth dropped open. Wait, what? "How can you be me and I, you?" I bellowed, confused. This was way too much for the little brain cells I had left. "You're a boy!" "Okay, now that's just being sexist." He stated, leaning against my book case with a grin on his face. What the hell was going on!? ************************** Lenna Adams was living no easy life. Her once perfect family was now in ruins.
