vermilionazure 's review for:
Wish You Were Here
by Jodi Picoult
Diana’s life is on track, she’s progressing in her career and about to go on holiday with her boyfriend, Finn, who might be planning to propose. But then coronavirus cases increase and Finn, a doctor, feels he shouldn’t leave. So Diana travels to the Galápagos Islands alone, only to end up stranded due to the pandemic. The island paradise contrasts with the snippets of what it’s like on the frontline in the form of emails from Finn. With little money, lost luggage and a language barrier the dream getaway isn’t exactly as planned.
I found it an really interesting novel, covering the current pandemic in a unique way.
At times I did feel like I was reading Wikipedia, with the potted history of Toulouse-Lautrec and Charles Darwin’s visits to the Galápagos Islands. But that aside it was an original story. I won’t say more, as I don’t want to spoil it, but I would definitely recommend it.
