☆☆☆Cute, fluffy second-chance romance☆☆☆

If you're looking for cute and fluffy with a side of insta-lust, this second chance romance is for you!

Carly Phillips Just One Wish is a cute, sweet novella about a rock star who tries everything (including some dumb things) to get back with the veterinarian he walked away from at the end of high school.

Tara and Axel agreed to go their separate ways at the end of high school to see where the world led them, not knowing that so much could happen in a short ten years.

Tara is sweet, somewhat naive in my opinion, and seems to want everything to be in just the right place at just the right time when she meets back up with Axel. It felt like she wanted Axel to be all settled, and ready for marriage, but she was still going out and getting so drunk she was going home without realizing who was taking her where.

Axel I had more issues with. He's cute, the kind of rock star everyone wants to take home, but certain comments during their sexy times REALLY put me off. Their is no need to continue to perpetuate the toxic male culture so prevalent in our society. 

All of this compounded with Axel wanting to get a dog to make Tara see that he's settled, even if he didn't end up getting one in that moment,  made it feel like the story was rushed. It didn't feel like there was any point where the couple was falling in love, but that they were already there.

Even in most second chance romance that I love to read there is a point where the couple comes back together, the heightened expectations, the love that is almost new again.

All of this led me to a 3.5 which I hate to give, but this story needed some definite work in my opinion.
