A review by hannahrl
Wish You Were Here, by Jodi Picoult

4.0

in a lot of ways I felt like this book was really able to capture some of the feelings I had during the pandemic that I haven’t really been able to describe to anyone in a coherent way. I liked the story for the most part and appreciated the twist. I like that it was a bit messier than some books. As always, I appreciated the accuracy with which a Picoult writes the details. I’m not sure if I was quite ready for a pandemic ready, but it was cathartic in a way. I didn’t love all the romantic aspects as those are some tropes I don’t love to read, but liked that they weren’t so clean cut. I liked the travel and adventure aspects and the way the book tackled relationships between parents and children. I’d recommend for someone who is ready to tackle some of those bigger emotions related to the pandemic.
