Carol Lynn Stewart- ForeWard MagazineFor readers who are hungry for fiction with real modern life, spirituality that is palpable, this book is a keeper.
KirkusWilshire creates a sympathetic protagonist for women still searcing for their own way,effectively integrates corporate sales, wtih spiritual undertones.
Book DescriptionIn a market where chick lit novels are plentiful this novel offers something different--a spiritual twist. Wilshire's funny, charming novel about workaholic, Ryley McKenna truly becomes the hysterical, self-conscious young woman as she spills her life's secrets to a her best friend on a bumpy plane ride of finding her soul mate. Ryley's humiliation, spirit, and drive in a believable and entertaining manner. A fun, and relatable story, and easy reading make this novel a perfect escape with spiritual meaning from A Course in Miracles and self help tools.
From the Publisher"Wilshire's first novel should satisfy readers from twenty something's and above. Ryley McKenna is in her late twenties, funny, independent, workaholic climbing up the corporate ladder trying to find her soul mate. After a break-up with her boyfriend that she wonders is her "What if Guy" she throws herself into work and tries to find love, but instead finds her authentic self. She is the type that is reluctant to non-traditional self help remedies, unlike her best friend. But some how a book called A Course in Miracles comes into her life, softening the edges of her stressful life. This very personal book triggers events that completely transform her and those around her. Ryley's adventures will strike a chord with all young women struggling to find their place in the world, especially those overwhelmed in their own life. This novel follows the classic format of chasing the wrong man when the right one will come when you are ready, or have a healed heart. "
From the AuthorThe What-If Guy tells a story of looking for a soul mate in a crazy stressful world and how to find peace along the way. This book is fun and entertaining--about a corporate executive trying to find love and in that process she finds her authentic self. It is a book of self-discovery and healing and most of all that miracles can and will happen when you are ready. I wanted to blend the idea of self-help tools, being able to manifest ones dreams in a light and funny way.
