This is a big day, Raquel. It’s only one of the big days that will happen in your life, and although I’m not actually there, hollering your name like a crazy person from the stands, know that I am still with you. I’m in your heart, and all that sappy BS, right?Can I just say that the ending was perfect, I would not change a single thing. I just highly recommend that you read the end by yourself- and not in public, like during lunch at work with all your coworkers like I did because you may sniffle...a lot. This is my second book by Cheyanne and I enjoyed the first, it was super cute, but this, this will forever by my favorite. Seriously, the feels! This was touching and sweet and romantic and I am so glad that I got the opportunity to read this and go on the adventures that Sasha created. I reviewed a complimentary copy of this title and I refuse to ever let it go.

The day Raquel has been dreading for months has finally arrived. Sasha, her best friend in the whole world -- the best friend in the whole world -- has died of cancer. Raquel can’t imagine life without her. She’s overwhelmed and brokenhearted.
And then a letter from Sasha arrives. Has she somehow found a way to communicate from the afterlife?
In fact, Sasha has planned an elaborate scavenger hunt for Raquel, and when she follows the instructions to return to Sasha’s grave, a mysterious stranger with striking eyes is waiting for her. There’s a secret attached to this boy that only Sasha—and now Raquel—knows.
This boy, Elijah, might be just what Raquel needs to move on from her terrible loss. But can Raquel remain true to herself while also honoring her friend’s final wish?

My Review:
5 Out Of 5 Stars
Genre: Heart-Wrenching, Romance, Teen--
I am so in love with this book! When I first heard about this story I knew I was going to read it- I am a sucker for the sad "death books" as my friends and family like to call them, where someone is either about to or in this case just died from some sort of terminal illness. There is usually something just so uplifting about the stories, you know, once the initial sadness is over. The Last Wish was no different, a journey of kinds, and just what I wanted.
This was very much so a story about love. Not necessarily romantic love, which was perfectly done in the book, but about the love of friendship and family. Even though Sasha dies within the first chapter or so of the book, we get to know her and her bond with Raquel so well that I was grieving and healing right along with Raquel. This is the kind of friendship that spans lifetimes and everyone dreams about. It was so easy to connect to the emotions in the story, so many moments I was overwhelmed with grief and fought to cry, other moments I wanted to cheer and smile. I highly recommend a box of tissues handy, just in case.
