But, not one fairytale, or love story tells you that after that ride, life happens. We had our story, and we were supposed to live happily in our bubble forever. After one check-up, our bubble burst and reality started to invade. And now, facing the unsure road of IVF treatment, we have to be stronger than ever. Once again, we must go into battle for our happily ever after. Taking that first step was easy. Staying on this road is harder than we thought.
And now, with unexpected obstacles in the way, it’s not a question of if the IVF will succeed. It’s will we be strong enough to stay together and reach for the stars?
Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
Wishing For A Star tackles a very sensitive subject with grace and taste, and brings forth so many emotions that I both laughed and cried as I traveled along with Dani and Sam on their journey to parenthood. The characters are so, so relatable, as is their IVF journey. There is a sweetness to their story, a grabbing prologue, and a HEA that is so very different but just as heartwarming as the romance novels I typically read!
While this story isn’t your traditional romance book, it is a gripping story of love, loss, healing, faith and hope. And having suffered a pregnancy loss myself, I felt Dani’s need and fears and everything else she went through in relation to motherhood.
Wishing For A Star was the first book I’ve read by Ana Balen, and I will definitely be on the lookout for more from her in the future! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
