I usually hate when real word topics are in books but this book was so well written. I cried I laughed and I gasped at the twist. Jodi never fails.

Wish You Were Here explores timely themes of isolation, love, and self-discovery during the pandemic. Picoult’s writing is engaging, and the premise is intriguing, but the story’s mid-book twist may divide readers. While emotionally resonant in parts, the pacing can feel uneven, and some characters lack depth. A thoughtful read, but not her strongest.

So many twists and turns (as usual for Picoult's books) and I really liked the ending, but it got a little slow at times.
