“The Secret Life of Wishful Thinking is a delightfully compelling novel that follows four female friends as they navigate through past humiliations and future incriminations, face up to the men in their lives, both present and missing, and unravel the many mistakes made along the way. Happiness and a sense of peace are hard won, and the reader can’t help rooting for these women until the very last page. Fans of Liane Moriarty will love it.”
—Deborah Reed, author of Things We Set on Fire and Carry Yourself Back to Me
“I need to confess I did something I hadn’t done since way back when I first discovered the addictiveness of reading. I gorged on “The Secret Life of Wishful Thinking.” Meaning that when I saw I had little time and no guarantee that I would have another reading break for an undetermined period and was unwilling to leave these characters and story to rest, at the 7% mark I started skimming over the book, reading bits and pieces of it until I got a partial picture and was somewhat appeased. Don’t judge, I know I shouldn’t have done it. I wasn’t even going to start this book for a few days because I needed a break from reading. But once I picked this up I couldn’t put it down. Now that I have fully read this book, I feel free to say I loved it and I have a lot of things to say about it. Let’s see if I don’t mess up my original pre-review. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed reading this book. It was sweet, proactively steamy, and absolutely swoony. It gave me some sad tears but mostly huge smiles. It was truly a celebration of the best emotions overcoming the sad, painful, and ugly ones.”
