rebl99 's review for:
Wish You Were Here
by Jodi Picoult
I love Jodi's writing as always. I did feel like reading about Covid was too soon - obviously a contemporary piece, but not necessarily something I want to re-immerse myself in!
The storyline / twist / development of character was spot on and interesting as always. The one thing about Jodi's writing is that there are always a few expected twists - there's always the middle-twist, then the last few pages of the book end with the abrupt surprise or conclusion. I read a bunch of her books back to back, so thats maybe why I felt that her story arcs were becoming too predictable, but with this book I did feel a bit unsatisfied with the end decision and how it affected the male character. The epilogue seemed like it was trying to tie up those loose ends, or flesh out the abrupt ending and it seemed like it was tacked on to placate the reader a bit. So the story was fabulously written as always - but not my favorite of her books!
