About this listen

Leslie Raymond spent the past two years wishing her life had taken a different turn. It’s time for a fresh start, a move across the country, and a new set of rules to help heal her heart—no straight women, no women with kids, and no commitment. But when she meets her new neighbors, the beautiful Erica and her special needs daughter, Siena, she struggles against the pull she immediately experiences.

Erica Cooper has learned to rely only on herself. She knows most people don’t stick around when the going gets tough. And when caring for a child with autism, the going can get tough fast. She is content with the quiet and emotionally safe life she’s constructed, but when they are befriended by their kind, playful, and—damn it—really hot new neighbor, the walls protecting her heart threaten to crumble.

So much for good intentions and firm resolutions—neither stand a chance when the stars align for love.

“A Wish Upon A Star” by Jeannie Levig, Narrated by Paige McKinney

I have read “A Wish Upon a Star” three times and this is my second time listening to it. And I know there are more reads and listens in my future!

This book is truly phenomenal. There aren’t enough adjectives to describe how much I love it. There’s romance, heartbreak, lost family, found family, lots of laughter and lots of love.

Leslie Raymond, Erica Cooper, Sienna, Erica’s autistic daughter, and Gus, Leslie’s dog, eventually make the perfect family. The story of them getting to that point is wonderful. And the cast of supporting characters are wonderful as well. You don’t want to miss this!

The narrator, Paige McKinney, does a fantastic job; her voice is lovely. She brings the characters to life in the most wonderful way! Needless to say, I am a huge fan of Jeannie Levig and Paige McKinney.

A delicious slowburn

This book was so good. A super slow burn with so much love and tenderness and a touch of angst that made perfect sense for the story. The narrator did a fantastic job. The ending had me in the happiest of tears!

Terrific - audio made this story even better!!!

I have already read Jeannie Levig’s “A Wish Upon A Star” more than once and love it. When I learned it would be coming out in audio I knew I would listen to it as soon as it was available!

This is a beautiful story of finding family. Leslie moves cross country back to her childhood house, hoping to leave heartbreak behind her. The little boy, Elijah, whom she has jointly raised and loves (but isn’t legally hers) was cruelly removed from her life, and after exhausting her legal options, she knows she has to relocate to try to heal her heart.

Leslie’s new next door neighbors, mom Erica and youngster Siena, grab her heart from day one, as does the most wonderful little dog named Gus who she found abandoned at a rest stop along her travel route.

During the story Leslie and Erica are mutually attracted and pulled to each other, while both have their moments when they step back from their feelings in fear of being hurt. The romance is gorgeous, with all the surrounding relationships that develop adding even more depth and love to this story. Siena and Gus form a bond that brings Siena joy as well as calming her autism related “meltdowns”. Gus is the most loyal and miraculous little dog. The relationship that develops between Leslie and Erica's daughter Siena is also lovely and so special.

Jeannie Levig weaves a wonderful story with some angst and many "touch your heart and soul" moments. The narrator, Paige McKinney, does a beautiful job with all the characters, with special admiration for how she voices Siena.

Highly recommend, and don't be surprised if it lands on your re-read / re-listen shelf!!!

Great book, highly recommend

Excellent writing and narration. Storyline feels authentic and the characters are relatable. One of the few books I went ahead and bought rather than waiting for my next credits. Worth it!

The writing

This is one of my all-time favorite books so when I saw there was finally an audio version, I was ecstatic!

This story is a gem. Siena and Gus's relationship is incredible. It is written with such care that you can tell how important it was to the writer to make it realistic yet accurate to tell her story.

The narrator did a great job as well. This is her besti performance, imo.

Heartwarming and sweet

This book was so sweet and heartwarming. Sienna was the sweetest and stole my heart. This was my first listen from this author and I’ll be checking out more from her in the future.

If you are looking for true romance this is the ideal book, this book is wonderful, fun, sexy and with a lot of information about autism. It is really interesting and the narrator is spectacular.

Wishes do come true

A lovely story about life, loss(not death), and adaptation. I appreciate that it does not shy away from the hard stuff.
