If Wishes Were Fishes I Would Be Allergic

      Awesome job Riley…the funny thing is, after you showed me this last week, I realized I had the book! A friend had lent it to me, but I had left it in my bag since that day. Then I found it and realized it was the book you’d made the trailer for… it definitely lives up to this. An excellent trailer for a killer read…well done, friend.
