Thank you to Hbg Canada for my gifted copy of Wish I Were Here by Melissa Weisner for review!
This rom-com is the opposites-attract tale of Catherine and Luca. Catherine has a PhD in mathematics and does everything by the rules, structured and scheduled.
Luca is the doorman in her apartment building, and much more lackadaisical about the elements that make up Catherine's every day. He loses deliveries, forgets service requests, sleeps in the lobby on shift. Or so it all appears.
Cat lands a faculty role at the local university, but can't start teaching as her identity has inexplicably disappeared from all documentation.
It's the characters that immediately drew me into this one. Everyone, from main characters to supporting, has charm. Witty banter, found family, and interesting reveals make this a book I definitely recommend.
