Wish You Were Here was the first book I had read that was actually set during the pandemic. It was surreal in a way, but it also gave me a comforting feeling of solidarity. When I started reading this, I couldn't stop talking about it! had the Galapagos on the brain, I was googling photos to get the right imagery. I was impressed that a difficult subject (self harm) was addressed. It was all good vibes for about half of the book. Then came the twist. know this is perhaps an unpopular opinion, but the twist lost me. I can't spoil the plot in good conscience because overall the book is good! Jodi is, as always, an incredible writer. I wish this book had gone in a different direction, but as a whole it is worth the read.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and Random House Ballantine for the advanced reader copy.
