Review by Angie:
This is the first book I have read by Gabbie S. Duran but it won't be the last.
Wishful thinking is a heartfelt look into a subject most don't like to think about......(I won't get into that subject, you will just have to read to find out!)
Although sad at times, I wouldn't consider this book a down right tear jerker. I would consider it more of an uplifting book.
I loved Lexie from page one. She was such a different character than I was used to. And Kaleb isn't your typical rock star. He was amazing! Put these two together and the chemistry was off the charts.
The side characters where just as great! From all the different children to Kaleb's bandmates, they all added a little something to the story. I did feel like there was a lack of someone for Lexie to lean on. She had her fellow nurses, but none of them really stood out to me as the best friend that Lexie needed.
If you are looking for a uplifting, hopeful book to read. Wishful Thinking may just be what you are looking for.

Lexie has one goal in life: to grant one last wish for each of her patients. There isn’t a request
she will deny, and has yet to fail to deliver a promise. That is, until the day she goes in search
of the infamous rock star Kaleb Knight, who can’t care less about her life’s ambition, or the
children she is determined to help.
Kaleb has his own dark secrets. He lives each day as if it’s his last, and refuses to spare a
moment of his time to play the part of a knight in shining armor—especially for someone like
Lexie . . . or so he thought. Now, his head and heart are at war, and his soul is screaming she
is exactly what he needs.
Will Lexie be the only one that can save him in the end? Or will he instead succumb to the
darkness threatening to consume him?
Gabbie is a Southern California native, who lives with her wonderful husband, two amazing
kids and a senior citizen kitty. When she’s not writing you can find her reading or sneaking off
for a run. Some might say it’s a crazy life, but she wouldn’t change anything about it.

“Lexie?”
“Yeah, buddy?”
He sucks in a deep breath before saying, “Do you think there are stars in heaven?”
“Of course there are. There is anything your little heart desires.”
“Even my hot fudge sundaes?” His question causes me to lightly laugh. Of course he asks
about his favorite dessert that he has been craving for the past month.
“Even your hot fudge sundaes,” I reply. “Before you know it, you’ll be having a stomach ache
from eating too much sugar.”
This causes his mother to whimper as she struggles against surrendering to the breaking
point. She’s always fought to not break down in front of Braden. She doesn’t want him to see
how upset this entire situation makes her.
He brightens from the response, his eyes returning to the show above us. The entire time my
view is locked on the little angel in front of me, knowing everything I’ve done tonight to make
this possible is still not enough for him. He deserves more. He deserves a lifetime worth of
years to gaze up at the stars, not borrowed hours as we wait, wondering when the end will
come.
Unfortunately, the wait wasn’t long. Braden took his last breath two days later. I was at his
side, holding his mother’s hand when he gave his last smile before closing his eyes for the
final time. He took a piece of my heart with him at that very moment, but they all have.
