Genre: YA coming-of-age fantasy

Synopsis:
Seventeen-year-old Joanna Murphy has lost faith in her life. Vying for her mom’s attention, she’s resentful of her stepdad’s intrusion to their family. Her best friend, Tommy, has no clue she’s in love with him as he dates girl after girl without noticing how it tortures her. The final kicker, though, is God’s sick joke to make her freakishly tall when everyone knows boys prefer petite girls.

Then in a bizarre accident Joanna meets James, a breathtaking teen who appears to her after an unusual falling star sighting. Suddenly, her dream for an alien encounter becomes all too real. But when she finds her life has been made unrecognizable, she’s forced into an explosive study of the original design for her life that just may have her regretting every wish she ever made.

My Opinion:
The main character in this story is named Joanna and I love that since my name is Joana! Joanna is not happy with her life. She wishes she was shorter, that her best friend was in love with her, and that her mom never met her stepdad. While watching the stars on top of her roof she has an accident and falls off the roof. After waking up from a coma she realizes her life has changed and all her wishes have come true. Joanna soon begins to think that maybe her life was better before her wishes came true. She got her wishes but they don't make her any happier. James is not from planet Earth but is on a mission to save Joanna. I love that this book makes you remember that you should appreciate what you have. We all need a little reminder sometimes! Visited is a very good book. I believe people of all ages would enjoy this book.
