Eddie Flynn is dying. He wants a cold Pepsi and a break from the eternal heat the infection wracking his body leaves him feeling. But the vending machine isn't giving him his Pepsi. Chance, the hot vending machine guy, gives him his soda and a pen to use so he can write a complaint to the company. Eddie ends up getting a lot more than Pepsi from Chance.While I'm sure Eddie would rather not be dying, he seems at peace with it, although he does struggle with both regret and acceptance. The hospice is a surprisingly uplifting place. It's comforting and peaceful. I think this is partly due to Eddie's kind and compassionate, but not patronizing, nurse, Travaughn.  Chance plays a big role in Wishink Well. He shows more emotion and personality than ever before. I love him even more now. Wishink Well's one sex scene packs a very emotional and heated punch. It's incredibly poignant and very well written considering the magnitude of its significance. Jordan Castillo Price has created a series that showcases a variety of writing talents and truly extraordinary, magical stories with Petit Morts. Wishink Well is a bittersweet story--no pun intended--about life and love and lust and wishes and choices. Ciao, Chance. See you soon!NannetteFor Joyfully Reviewed
