Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 6, 2014
This book finds Alex and Gabi moving into a new phase in their lives, towards the birth of their long awaited baby. Life ambles along for Gabi at a slower pace as her body restricts her normally focused pace in life. As the time of birth approaches, they find themselves in a situation that changes life forever and neither of them are ready to deal with it. Charli drops everything to be there with them.This review is difficult to write, because I need to write without spoilers and I am bursting with lines that had a profound effect on me. This novella is different to the other Wishes books. It is true to the series, but the emotions in this book are so strong that it takes you on a journey which makes you adore these characters even more. The relationship between Alex and Charli is explored in a new light. Of course, no GJ Walker-Smith book would be complete without a fairy's tale and this one is 'special'. GJ's ability to write the sadness in this book but still be able to instil humour into that dark place is quite brilliant.Oh, and when you get to 'The End' please just pause and take in that last paragraph because it sums up what an extraordinarily talented writer GJ Walker-Smith is. This now goes to the top of the list as being my favourite in the series.
