Wish I Were Here by Melissa Wiesner

This was very cute! Luca was such a sweetheart! I loved how willingly he was to help Catherine no matter how many family members he needed to get involved. This was definitely lighter on the romance but I still found it adorable. 

I love magical realism so I knew I was going to enjoy this but the twist with Sal and Mrs. Hartman was not the one I was expecting! 

The one thing I didn’t enjoy was how quickly Catherine judged Luca :( I had really hoped she wouldn’t just listen to her mom without explanation. But I did like how it ended and how she grew to accept her dad, Luca and the other performers at ArtSpace and embrace them more in her life/career!

Thank you to Forever and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!
