Review: The Wishing Quilt (The Secret Wish) by Jodi Thomas
/The Wishing Quilt is a contemporary romance anthology featuring three wonderful novellas. We see the inspiration behind the love of a quilt that takes these three women down a road that leads their hearts to be fulfilled and loved.
With that beautiful cover that invites you in, Jodi Thomas brings us to While A Way, TX. This town might not seem much on the outside but the people give it all that it needs that it draws it's strength from.
In the Secret Wish, we are introduced Avery Cleveland. She finds her way to this town after a career ending injury. Feeling hopeless with no other options, coming to this town was the fresh start that she desperately needed. With a renewed drive to build back up her late great grandmother's quilt shop, it ignited something within her that turned that hopelessness into hope. After a chance encounter with the local sheriff, Daniel Solis, she soon comes to realize that he might be the missing patch that will make her quilt complete.
I really enjoyed this novella. Avery is the type of character that will pull at your heart. She is lost, waiting to be found. She doesn't have family in her corner. You want her to feel love and be loved. You want to see her get her hea. Daniel is awkwardly charming. He is mesmerized by her and she is is everything that he needs but doesn't know how to translate his affection that doesn't transition awkwardly. Their buildup is beautiful. There is a subplot to the story that adds some suspense to the mix that brings everything together strengthening their characters to where they are meant to be.
I truly hope in the future that we get a chance to revisit this town. This would be a great start to a wonderful series. Only time will tell. I really enjoyed this and despite being a quick read, it was definitely a fulfilling one. With the fall coming up, this would be one that you can cozy up and enjoy. If you are a fan of anyone of these lovely ladies, make sure you add this to your TBR list.
