Charlotte has spent her twenties adrift, floating from interest to interest, job to job, and guy to guy, searching for a spark but never quite finding it. All she knows is that she won’t discover it working as a waitress at a pies-and-fries joint in Los Angeles or living with her fun but aimless best friend in a tiny apartment in the Arts District.
Then Charlotte collides with Adam, a gorgeous and soulful painter who seems just as lost as she feels. Their instant connection turns into a midnight drink… and a whirlwind night of champagne, Chinese food, and the kind of conversation that only happens in romantic comedies. But the next morning, Adam gives Charlotte the cold shoulder, leaving her confused and hurt—and wondering if the few odd moments between them the night before were red flags in disguise.
Months later, Charlotte hasn’t been able to shake Adam, so she decides to find out what happened the morning after their magical night together. This fateful decision rewrites their wild love story, but what Charlotte doesn’t know yet is that the ending has already been written.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed Wish You Were Here. I not only purchased a Kindle copy but received the physical copy in my Page Habit box. Reading Renee’s personal antidotes while reading this story was probably one of the neatest reading experiences I’ve had.
Wish You Were Here, was beautiful and it had me falling in love while experiencing times of joy and sadness.
“Love is a wordless secret. It’s an inside joke. Only the two of you have the understand it.”
In the beginning of, Wish You Were Here, I was a little irritated by Charlotte. She was a bit flighty and unobservant, but as the story progressed and she grew up and matured. I loved seeing the change in her. When Charlotte loves, she loves with her whole heart and it a beautiful thing.
Wish You Were Here, is a heart-achingly beautiful book and my review will never do it justice. I have so much more to say, but I think that you need to read and experience the depth of the love in this story without my in put to feel the full impact of the story.
“We were promises solidified, named with each kiss, each breath.”
