About this eBook

Reunion Prom? Is this really a thing?

In Wishful it is. Lexi Morales never imagined her life would turn into the premise for an 1980s teen movie. But when her big high school trauma hit like a ton of bricks, she spent the next decade trying to hide the truth. After years of careful avoidance, she's back in town to care for her injured mother, just in time for the high school reunion she never planned to attend—a reunion that evokes memories she's tried to forget.

Wishful's friendly neighborhood photographer, Zach Warren, has no idea why he and his best friend drifted apart. But from the first, flashbulb moment he sees Lexi all grown up, she's all he can think about—and his thoughts keep straying right out of the friendzone.

Zach’s offer of temporary employment while she’s in town should be a perfect fit, but acting like she's never thought of him as more than a friend turns out to be harder than Lexi ever expected. All she wants to do is get through this with her secret—and her heart—intact. One thing's for sure: Lexi is NOT going to this prom.

But what if ten years is just the right amount of time for Zach to finally get a clue? 

Ratings and reviews

Another visit to Wishful is always fun. It was nice to touch base with some characters from past books. While this was a nice little read I felt that the characters and story weren't as well developed as I'm used to. The wholes story felt a bit rushed. Not bad, just not one of my favorites from Wishful. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

ARC for honest review with no compensation received from BookSprout Dancing Away With My Heart is book 12 in the Wishful series by Kait Nolan. Love this series!! Best friends, budding photographers, high school prom which he thinks she is making a joke about changes the friendship between Lexi Morales and Zach Warren. Now 10 years later Lexi returns to Wishful to help her mother after she injured herself and who does Lexi run into first but Zach and he wants to pick up their friendship right where they left off in high school...so not happening!! It’s also their 10 year high school reunion and the theme is their senior prom and Lexi is so not going... too much heartache about that time in her life... but Zach has finally figured out what happened to their friendship all those years ago and is determined to figure out how to repair the damage, give her a prom to remember and show her his true feelings that took him a while to figure out. Quick sweet read, true to life story, standalone, and visits by former people from other Wishful books!!

A scared girl and a clueless man, an interesting mother and some nice friends (they could have helped earlier...) and a small town romance.
