Let me start by saying….I loved this book!  This book was off the charts in chemistry!  Where does one sign up to “wish” for a William Bailey and how does one recover from letting him slip through their fingers.  The story is told from both Cally and William’s point of view and flips between present day and their time apart.Forced to return to the hometown she left 7 years ago, Cally stumbles upon her first love, William within minutes of returning.  And there is no turning back.  The connection still there and burning like a raging fire.  Time has been good to William and Cally takes notice.Arriving in  New Hope on the heels of the loss of her mother, Cally has returned to get her sisters set up with her Dad and plans on making a quick exit back to Vegas.  But things don’t always go as planned and Cally is forced to remain in town.  William takes every opportunity to be close to Cally and remind her of what they were.The connection of Cally and William was jumping off the page.  The depth of their love was apparent even through time and distance.  Was the answer to why she stood him up at prom an answer he really wanted to know?  Could Cally share all of the darkness and what she had become with William and have the wish she always hoped for?Forced to resort to any means necessary to protect her sisters Cally has had to endure a lot in the 7 years since she left.  I could feel her heart being torn apart at what she had done to provide for her family and the fear that once William knew he would want nothing to do with her."I regret so much. I should have been with you and I shouldn't have...." ~ CallyBut William did not just sit by the past 7 years.  He had failed relationships and was currently thwarting the advances of Meredith.  Let’s just say I was not a fan of her from the word go.  She was manipulative and down right rude.  Meredith had tunnel vision when it came to William and was not going to just go away quietly.“ I made so many damn mistakes when you were out of my life. When you left, I lost more than my girlfriend, I lost myself.”  ~WilliamBut it was like the stars were aligning for them.  When Cally and her sisters are forced to make temporary living arrangements with William the story heats up.  Holy hotness...the sexual tension between them pulsating of the page .  I was hoping that they would find their way back to one another.Just when it appeared that things were starting to work out for Cally and William, more turmoil ensues and secrets are revealed.  Secrets that may just be their undoing. Can they let the past be the past and live for their future?  Guess you are going to have to pick up this AMAZING story and see for yourself.
