But she wasn’t always that way.
Duncan Carpenter is the new school principal who lives by rules and regulations, guided by the knowledge that bad things can happen.
But he wasn’t always that way.
And Sam knows it. Because she knew him before—at another school, in a different life. Back then, she loved him—but she was invisible. To him. To everyone. Even to herself. She escaped to a new school, a new job, a new chance at living. But when Duncan, of all people, gets hired as the new principal there, it feels like the best thing that could possibly happen to the school—and the worst thing that could possibly happen to Sam. Until the opposite turns out to be true. The lovable Duncan she’d known is now a suit-and-tie wearing, rule-enforcing tough guy so hell-bent on protecting the school that he’s willing to destroy it.
As the school community spirals into chaos, and danger from all corners looms large, Sam and Duncan must find their way to who they really are, what it means to be brave, and how to take a chance on love—which is the riskiest move of all.
With Katherine Center’s sparkling dialogue, unforgettable characters, heart, hope, and humanity, What You Wish For is the author at her most compelling best.

As I continue to make my way slowly through Katherine Center's backlist I listened to the audiobook of What You Wish For on a travel day recently.
What You Wish For started out as a fun and quirky story. When Samantha meets up with your former coworker, she realizes how much he has changed from his past quirky fun loving self. She wants to know what happened, well one part of her wants to know what happened the other is trying to make him fun again.
This was a lighthearted story that also dealt with some serious subject matter, not just for Duncan, but for Samantha as well
What You Wish For is a story of healing, friendship, and standing up for something you believe in.
Though this isn’t one of my favourite Katherine Centre books I did enjoy it. I love the message and the ending.
My audiobook was obtained through my CloudLibrary subscription from my local library.
