Katherine Center’s What You Wish For is GOLD! I would love if this novel was made into a movie! Women’s fiction at its best – like all of Katherine’s books!
This book is about reinventing yourself, choosing joy, ride-or-die friendships, feeling disqualified and maybe some scheming. 😉
Wish Upon This Star (Book)
Sam Casey is the school librarian for a dream school in Galveston, Texas. She wears lots of color, celebrates everything and seeks out the goodness in her simple life.
Sam wasn’t always this way. She left her old ways, her old life, her trusty wallflower personality at her last job. Sam reinvented herself and no one would recognize her now – even her years-long crush from her last job, Duncan Carpenter.
Ch-Ch-Changes
Duncan Carpenter was the star of the show at his last job. Everyone’s favorite person/teacher/coach. Attractive, fun, smart and charisma for days. Sam who?
Duncan comes in as the new head of school where Sam works to make some serious changes. Gone are his fun-loving ways. He brings the need for school security and the idea that all schools are a target for a domestic attack. Not if, when.
Face-Off
This book is about trauma (big or small). The disqualifiers that make a person feel not enough or unlovable (illness, the past, etc.).
This book is about pursuing joy as a choice in spite of hardships.
This is about the difference between fixing an issue vs. walking alongside someone.
This is about not allowing yourself to want things you couldn’t have.
Wish For This!
Get your pretty little paws on this book asap! All of Katherine Center’s books are phenomenal! All! I’m still deciding if What You Wish For or How to Walk Away is my fave – it’s a neck-and-neck race right now.
