A review by casacostello
Wish You Were Here by Mike Gayle

4.0

Another great read from Mike Gayle. He's certainly got a skill for writing about the mundane in people's lives and making it fascinating. he must spend so much time observing people and finding out their innermost thoughts.

3 friends go on a 18-30's last minute holiday to Crete. They are all 35 but are not going to let that small details stop them. Will it be the same holiday as last time they visited the resort of Malia?

All 3 friends have their different baggage to take with them and the week doesn't exactly work out as planned. There's touching moments of friendship and melancholy in this book. Its not fast paced, there's not a huge amount of action, but it is very readable and enjoyable.
