What You Wish For by Katherine CenterMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
4.5 stars rounded up.
A lovely emotional read that combines pain with joy. Luckily joy wins in the end. This is definitely going on my re-read/comfort read shelf.
Although this book is a romance, there is no sex just heavy kissing. A fine change of pace from books that describe making love in minutiae.
I will be reading more from this author.

SYNOPSIS: "From Katherine Center, the New York Times bestselling author of How to Walk Away comes a stunning new novel full of heart and hope.
Samantha Casey loves everything about her job as an elementary school librarian on the sunny, historic island of Galveston, Texas—the goofy kids, the stately Victorian building, the butterfly garden. But when the school suddenly loses its beloved principal, it turns out his replacement will be none other than Duncan Carpenter—a former, unrequited crush of Sam’s from many years before.
When Duncan shows up as her new boss, though, he’s nothing like the sweet teacher she once swooned over. He’s become stiff, and humorless, and obsessed with school safety. Now, with Duncan determined to destroy everything Sam loves about her school in the name of security—and turn it into nothing short of a prison—Sam has to stand up for everyone she cares about before the school that’s become her home is gone for good."
