My Wish Upon A Star

Preface

My Wish Upon A Star

 

 

 

“All men have stars, but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems... But all these stars are silent. You-You alone will have stars as no one else has them... In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars will be laughing when you look at the sky at night… You, only you, will have stars that can laugh! And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me... You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure... It will be as if, in place of the stars, I had given you a great number of little bells that knew how to laugh”

- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince.

 

Danika Wisher has a knack at getting herself into very strange situations. With hippie polygamist parents, an unfinished college degree, weird part-time jobs and promiscuous habits, her upbringing didn’t exactly scream normal.

So, when she meets Landon Armstrong—in a hospital wearing a puffy powder blue dress—she doesn’t think too much of it. But when she keeps meeting him, time and time again, she can’t help but think that maybe there’s some greater forces working there.

With her Wallstreet workaholic emotionally distant not-really-boyfriend-boyfriend, and Landon’s own cold hearted contortionist ex-girlfriend, they’re both emotionally unavailable in their own messed up way and in no place to be in any kind of relationship. But their unlikely friendship might bring them both something that they never had expected to find—their own stars.
