Book: Wish I Were Here

Author: Melissa Wiesner

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever Pub for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

This book gives you all the feels!

Catherine landed her dream job as a mathematician at her local university. On her orientation day, she discovered an issue with her paperwork, so she couldn’t participate until everything got straightened out. Everything seems to snowball for her from there. She goes to the DMV and Social Security office to find out she no longer exists in the system.

It looks like her birth certificate is fraudulent and now she and Luca are on a hunt to track down her mother who she doesn’t know to get her real birth certificate. I love that Luca didn’t leave her side throughout this entire situation. The adventure of tracking it down is filled with my heartfelt laughs. Luca is seriously one of the nicest main male characters ever! He is so kind and just looks out for everyone in the DeGreco building where he is a doorman.

I adored how everything came together and I loved the little twist at the end. Melissa Wiesner has easily become an auto-buy author for me.

Final Score 5/5
