Wish I Was Here is by Melissa Wiesner who also wrote The Second Chance Year which I loved! Wish I Was Here comes out October 15, 2024.
This book is about Catherine who while having a rough start to her morning bumps into her building’s doorman, Luca, and later when she discovers her identity doesn’t exist, her birth certificate is a fake, and she can’t start her new job as a math professor, Luca is the only one who can help.
This book was fine but I didn’t love it. It was a quick read. It had a little bit of the magical realism element like in The Second Chance Year but it doesn’t make as much sense as in that book. I liked the Morelli family, they were fun. I didn’t get a lot chemistry between Catherine and Luca. I found the secret behind why she had a fake birth certificate kind of anti climactic.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC
