Publisher Description
Book 6.5 in the #1 bestselling Wishes Series
'If you spend too long in a small town, you’ll eventually fade away. And on the eve of my twenty-fifth birthday, I realised that I was practically invisible.'
After spending a lifetime following her domineering sister’s glitzy ways, Lily Tate is finally ready to step out on her own.
Breaking away from Jasmine is difficult, but ditching the ugly reputation she’s gained after years of sketchy behaviour is even harder.
Thankfully, she’s not going it alone.
After turning her back on her old life, Lily gains a brand new support system – namely a reluctant new best friend and a boy who might be important.
With their encouragement, there’s every chance that the real Lily Tate might step forward.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We’re big fans of GJ Walker-Smith’s down-to-earth new adult novels. In this story, former mean girl Lily Tate is determined to distance herself from bad influences and make amends…but unfortunately not everyone’s ready to forgive and forget. Newcomer Noah Holt has never met the old Lily, though, and he's determined to help her turn her life around and win her heart in the process. With its small-town cast of quirky characters, Shadow Lily goes beyond romance to explore the importance of female friendships and the struggle to cut off toxic relationships.

Shadow Lily
Shadow Lily by GJ Walker-Smith
I adore the Wishes series from Walker-Smith and Shadow Lily is the perfect addition. If you've read the series, you'll recall Lily Tate - one of the Beautifuls of Pipers Cove (and if you haven't, what are you waiting for??) and this is her story.
Lily is tired of being treated like a brainless fool and from being her sisters lackey. She's determined to start up her own business and step out from under her family's thumb. She develops an unlikely friendship with Charli who helps her realize her dreams and her worth.
I didn't expect to have any sympathy for Lily. She wasn't a very nice person growing up and frankly, her happiness was never my concern. This very factor is what I find so appealing about Walker-Smiths writing: she takes the characters you dislike the most and breathes so much life and heart into them that you can't help feel love toward them - in my case Jean-Luc (he's mine) and now Lily. Throw in a lovely country vet who adores Lily, and this book was utter perfection. This truly is a welcome addition to the Wishes series and another one I heartily recommend.
