I read Wish You Were Here about two months ago and I still can’t stop thinking about it. I absolutely LOVED this book! It does take place during the COVID-19 pandemic so it may not be for some and I understand that the content in Jodi Picoult’s newest novel may be too soon. If you do feel comfortable reading about the pandemic, I highly suggest picking it up. The storyline will pleasantly surprise you in the best way. 

 

Wish You Were Here is centered around main character Diana O’Toole. Diana’s life is right on track and she and her boyfriend Finn are excited to go on a romantic getaway to the Galapagos where Finn could possibly propose. But then COVID-19 hits and the chances of her going with Finn to the Galapagos are slowly decreasing as Finn is needed to treat patients at the hospital as a surgical resident. Diana and Finn decide that Diana should still go anyway so what begins is an adventure in the Galapagos where Diana makes strong connections with a family in isolation. It is here that Diana revaluates her relationships back home and her life choices.
