Blurb

Finding out my husband, my best friend, only had months to live was devastating.
Sitting out under the star-filled sky, listening to him wish on star after star, night after night, almost killed me.
He never wished to get better.
He wished for me to be happy.
He wished for me to find the strength to move on.
I told him his wishes were pointless, because happiness wouldn’t exist without him.
I found out soon after he passed away that I was pregnant.
But I had no idea his final wish would bring me something I never thought I’d find again.

Review:

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

I liked the story, but I will go with the three-star rating. Why? Because Aubrey happened. I will explain later on.

When I was reading the prologue I was hit with the abruptness of it. We have a lot of time jumps that show us some important moments of Aubrey's life. It began with her seeing Denver kiss another girl and then deciding on the spot that she should be Gabe's girlfriend even though she loved him only as a friend. And she ends up married to the guy. Does that make sense to you? Fast forward Gabe dies and she finds out that she is pregnant and then we have yet another flash forward 4 years later. It felt like we saw a decade of their life in a few pages and not in the "awesome epilogue" way. Which the book happened to have btw. I loved these flash forwards.

The story was good, but I felt like there was too much time wasted on Aubrey trying to avoid what she had with Denver and she kept pushing him away. He deserves an award for waiting for her all these years. After Gabe died, Denver was celibate because he knew he had a chance with Aubrey. That man was great and the best part of the book. I wish we had seen him spend more time with Lyra. It was implied that they had a great relationship and we didn't see much of it.

The book had the potential of been amazing and it didn't take it. I feel like we needed more backstory and time to develop this one, since it was short and rushed things a little.
