There’s no way I was leaving this story with anything but a puddle of feels with a title like The Last Wish of Sasha Cade but damn, I did not expect to feel as many thing as I did!

I’ve had this book on my TBR for ages but it took a pandemic to pick it up. What a bad choice I made in waiting because once I started, I did not want to stop! What a gift Cheyenne has given us readers, much like Sasha gave Raquel.

Losing your best friend is a traumatic experience, no matter what the circumstance. Losing your best friend to cancer during your senior year? Just not ok. We get a good sense of how important these girls are to each other from the get-go, even though we don’t spend much time with them before we lose Sasha. Not to worry, though, because she has a posthumous adventure for two of her people to take together.

Oh, did I mention those two people don’t know each other? Sasha, you genius.

This could have easily been your typical romance where the good girl (Raquel) saves the dark, angsty boy (Elijah) but that isn’t the story Cheyenne gave us. She dropped pieces of these characters along the way, allowing us to discover who they were through their actions. We, as the reader, get to draw our own conclusions. I fell for both of them as they fell for each other, with me wanting to break the fourth wall to cheer for them in person.

More heartwarming than sad, this is a unique take on friendship that stands out. I can’t wait to see what Cheyenne gives us next!
