WISH I MAY by Lexi Ryan4 1/2 stars.WISH I MAY is a heart warming story.  It opens your eyes on what someone would do to help their family and themselves survive in life.  I loved the relationship between Cally and Will. Even after so many years apart they still have that love connection and hopes to find their destiny and happily ever after.When Cally was young, she was taught by her dad to believe in destiny, dreams and that wishes on bright starry night come true.  All that changed when her mom stop believing the same and started taking drugs.  She left her husband and up rooted Cally and her to sister to restart their lives in on other state.  At sixteen, not only did Cally leave behind her high school boyfriend,and first love William Bailey, she also left behind her innocent childhood.  She instantly took on a mature role in order to look after her drug addict mom and support her sister from becoming homeless. Unfortunately that made Cally take on more than she could handle.  She finds herself borrowing and owing money to a stranger that turns out to be involved in prostitution.  Not being able to pay back the loan, she is forced to repay in other ways or risk her sisters well being.  No matter how hard Cally wished on that star her belief in happily ever after burned out.Seven years later, Cally finds herself returning her two sisters to their dad in their childhood home town after the sudden overdose death of their mom.  Not intending to stay, she didn't want to spend time with her dad who was still caught up in his spiritual world and neglecting the physical one.  She definitely did not want to run into her ex-boyfriend William but in a small town, that's unavoidable.  Seven years earlier, she broke his heart when she stood him up for his prom with no explanation and cutting all ties to their long distant relationship.  Little did Will know it was to protect him from her secret life.  Now looking into his eyes, she sees the girl she was, the life she lived, and the future she gave up.  She realizes that her love for Will is just as strong as the day she left.William on the other hand had been thru a lot in the last seven years.  He's been trying to fill his void of Cally with other girls but finding himself empty.  Will found himself engaged twice to two girls, they being sisters.  That didn't work out but fortunately they were friends before and all remained friends after.  Then Will's grandmother stepped in as match-maker and set Will up with a long friends granddaughter, Meredith.  For Will, she turned out to NOT be 'the one' but Meredith felt differently.  On her chase for Will, she interferes with Cally and Will's re-connect making it difficult to see what's true.  Will Cally be able to face William and tell him the truth about her secrets and why she vanished from his life.  Will William forgive her foe everything past and present?  Is their still time for her to reconnect with him or has Will moved on with someone else?  Does Cally forgive her dad for his lack of parenting skills, unrealistic hopes and believe he will come back to earth to deal with problems in realistic manners?  Does Cally ever re-find her belief in destiny, star wishing magic, and happily ever afters?Worth the Read Blog @ [...]
