Review/recenzija: Denise Grover Swank:Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes /Dvadeset osam i pol �elja

Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes is the first novel in Rose Gardner Mystery series. I've been given the copy of this book by one of my bookfriends and finally I can say it's time for me to review it. There are actually eight more published novels for us to enjoy, so we have a lot of interesting reads a head of us. But let's take this step by step. 



Rose Gardner is different. But the possibility to see future events never really brought her any good. She was always the black sheep of the family, and after her mother was found dead, she became the prime suspect of the investigation. Nobody believed her to be innocent.
Besides those obvious problems, Rose had another one. She knew she was the one meant to be dead. One of her visions was very clear when it showed her lying in a coffin. She had only a few days to live so there was only one thing she could do: make a list of twenty-eight wishes and make them come true. 
While in constant danger, Rose had to preserve the relationship with her sister and learn how to love a man with a few of his own secrets.


Rose Gardner can sometimes, just sometimes, see the future. Obviously, Rose Strong wants to know more about that ?? 
What would you do if you knew the exact date of your death?
A bit scary to think about it, isn't it?
Well, in this novel, Rose G. has a pretty interesting way of dealing with this dreadful knowledge. Knowing that the "end" is near, Rose finally starts living her life freely, under her own terms.
The thing we can learn from this novel, and what we can identify with, is that sometimes in life we give up on our right to do what we want. May it be because we're scared or we have more important responsibilities, but the fact remains that we put out wishes aside. There's always something that matters more, something that (intentionally or not) provokes an emotional blackmail that sooner or later leads us towards the moment when we finally stop caring about what others think. Ultimately, we get to be ourselves. Sometimes (like in case of Rose G.), the other things stop being as important as they used to be in the most unfortunate moment. But that's where the beauty lies: what others think doesn't matter. It's our peace that has all the importance. Only the change born inside of us. 


A small town where everyone knows everything about unimportant things, and nothing about those that really count. A love story that's about to happen and a mystery that lies underneath the things we think we know. 
Rose Gardner is a character that changes in front of us. A girl with no personality transforms into a woman who knows how to stand her ground. 

This novel is a perfect beginning of a story I'm eager to read more about. Twenty-eight and a half modest wishes will turn the world of our heroine upside down and make us read the novel in one breath.

Dvadeset osam i pol �elja prvi je roman u serijalu Misteriji Rose Gardner iz izdanja Stilusa. Originalan serijal ima devet nastavaka, a nakon prvog, u Hrvatskoj su prevedena  jo� dva romana: Dvadeset devet i pol razloga i Trideset i pol izlika. Nadamo se da �e uskoro i ostali osvanuti na policama na�ih knji�ara.
Ja sam knjigu dobila od drage mi Valentine, i napokon mogu re�i da je recenzija avantura moje imenjakinje Rose do�la na red. 


Rose Gardner je druga�ija. Ipak, njezine vizije budu�ih doga�aja osobno joj nikad nisu i�le u korist. Uvijek je bila crna ovca u gradi�u u kojem �ivi, a kad joj majku prona�u ubijenu u njihovoj ku�i, ona postane glavna osumnji�ena. Cijeli grad je protiv nje i nitko ne vjeruje da je nevina.
Uz to, Rose je svjesna da njena majka nije ta koja je trebala umrijeti. Jedna od njenih vizija nju ozna�i kao metu kriminalaca koji su joj ubili majku, pa, svjesna da joj ne preostaje puno vremena, Rose ispi�e popis od dvadeset i osam stvari koje �eli napraviti prije smrti.
U vrtlogu opasnosti koja prijeti na svakom koraku, Rose mora odr�ati odnos sa sestrom, ostvariti svoje �elje, dr�ati na uzici jednog psa mje�anca i emocije prema novoprido�lom susjedu Joeu.


Rose Gardner ima vizije! Dovoljno da Rose Strong po�eli znati vi�e ?? 
�to biste napravili da znate to�an datum svoje smrti?
Zastra�uju�a pomisao, zar ne?
Unato� tome, u ovom romanu Rose sa svojim saznanjem nosi na jedan prili�no usredoto�en i meni vrlo zanimljiv na�in. �injenica da joj je "kraj" blizu, nju natjera da se napokon pokrene i �ivot pro�ivi onako kako �eli, pod svojim uvjetima.
Ono �to mo�emo nau�iti iz ovog romana, i s �ime se svatko od nas na svoji na�in mo�e poistovjetiti, je svjesnost da se u �ivotu odri�emo prava da ponekad u�inimo ne�to �to bismo �eljeli. Bilo zbog straha ili druge obaveze, ali ostaje �injenica da zapostavljamo svoje �elje. Uvijek je to 'ne�to' va�nije i ono nas emocionalno ucjenjuje (svjesno ili ne) sve do to�ke kada nas naposljetku prestaje biti briga �to drugi misle. Napokon postanemo svoji. Ponekad (kao u slu�aju kojeg pre�ivljava Rose Gardner ), to drugo prestaje biti va�no u trenutku koji drugi smatraju nimalo prigodnim, ali ljepota je vidljiva ba� u shva�anju da to �to oni misle, nije va�no. Va�an je na� mir. Na�e ja. Promjena koja nas osloba�a.


Mali gradi� u kojem svi znaju sve o nebitnim stvarima, a o onim va�nima nitko nema pojma. Ljubavna pri�a u nastajanju i misterij u pozadini svega. Ovaj roman mje�avina je samo najboljih sastojaka od kojih �e sigurno nastati serijal za pam�enje. 
Rose Gardner lik je koji se mijenja nama pred o�ima. Od djevojke koja skoro pa nema vlastito ja, odjednom nastaje �ena koja se spremna zauzeti za sebe i sukobiti sa svima koji joj stoje na putu kako bi napokon mogla otkriti �ari �ivota koji se dosad nije usudila �ivjeti.

Ako jo� niste upoznati s tri prevedena nastavka, ovo je savr�ena prilika da krenete s pri�om koja istodobno izaziva i nadahnjuje. Dvadeset osam i pola skromnih �elja pokrenut �e dinami�an preokret u �ivotu heroine i garantirano dr�ati va�u pa�nju od prve do zadnje stranice.
Ako ste knjige pro�itali, da �ujemo. �ekam komentare ?
