Wish I Were Here by Melissa Wiesner
4.75
emotional funny lighthearted reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Is Luca Morelli too good to be true? He's such a lovely and charming lead, with seemingly no flaws. Catherine is a strong, independent lead, but her stubbornness does tend to force story notes that fill the required beats.

Overall, I just loved spending time with the vast cast of characters, wanting to see if the story lead to an unexpected development. While I can't say that it did, the predictability was really the only complaint I had. I would happily spend time at the DeGreco anytime.
