A Wish For Us by Tillie Cole

From the author who brought you A Thousand Boy Kisses comes the new emotional novel, A Wish For Us.
A story of music. A story of healing. A story of love conquering all.

Nineteen-year-old Cromwell Dean is the rising star of electronic dance music. Thousands of people adore him. But no one knows him. No one sees the color of his heart.

Until the girl in the purple dress. She sees through the walls he has built to the empty darkness within.

When Cromwell leaves behind the gray skies of England to study music in the South Carolina heat, the last thing he expects is to see her again. And he certainly doesn’t expect that she’ll stay in his head like a song on repeat.

Bonnie Farraday lives for music. She lets every note into her heart, and she doesn’t understand how someone as talented as Cromwell can avoid doing the same. He’s hiding from his past, and she knows it. She tries to stay away from him, but something keeps calling her back.

Bonnie is the burst of color in Cromwell’s darkness. He’s the beat that makes her heart skip.

But when a shadow falls over Bonnie, it’s up to Cromwell to be her light, in the only way he knows how. He must help her find the lost song in her fragile heart. He must keep her strong with a symphony only he can compose.

A symphony of hope.
A symphony of love.
A symphony of them.

Cover:  I’m a big fan of this cover, I think it compliments the story well and is just beautiful to look at.

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’m a huge Tillie Cole fan.  I absolutely adore her Hades Hangmen series, Sweet series and her stand alone novels.  I recently read Sick Fux and was actually disappointed, which made me quite sad as I’ve loved all the other books of hers I’ve read.  So I was both nervous and excited to read A Wish For Us.

I was hooked from the very beginning.  I did not want to put this book down.  It gripped me.

Such a beautiful story.  I’m a sucker for a beautifully done romance, and this did not disappoint.  It reminded me of one of my favourite books of Tillie Cole’s, Sweet Soul.

Cromwell is a brooding male protagonist.  He’s a EDM DJ God, and Bonnie is a spirited girl with a love of music.

The two of them clash, but they have more in common than they know.

A beautiful story that had me rooting for Cromwell and Bonnie, it brought tears to my eyes.  Probably my favourite book of the year so far!
5/5 stars.
