Wish You Were Here

By Renee Carlino

Book Overview

Charlotte has spent her twenties adrift, searching for a spark to jump-start her life and give her a sense of purpose. She's had as many jobs as she's had bad relationships, and now she's feeling especially lost in her less-than-glamorous gig at a pie-and-fry joint in Los Angeles, where the uniforms are bad and the tips are even worse. Then she collides--literally--with Adam, an intriguing, handsome, and mysterious painter. Their serendipitous meeting on the street turns into a whirlwind one-night stand that has Charlotte feeling enchanted by Adam's spontaneity and joy for life. There's promise in both his words and actions, but in the harsh light of morning, Adam's tune changes, leaving Charlotte to wonder if her notorious bad luck with men is really just her own bad judgment. Months later, a new relationship with Seth, a charming baseball player, is turning into something more meaningful, but Charlotte's still having trouble moving past her one enthralling night with Adam. But why? When she searches for answers, she finds the situation with Adam is far more complicated than she ever imagined. Faced with the decision to write a new story with Seth or finish the one started with Adam, Charlotte embarks on a life-altering journey, one that takes her across the world and back again, bringing a lifetime's worth of pain, joy, and wisdom.

Laughter & tears, a great weekend read

First, I have to say that every book I've read by Renee Carlino has been amazing. She really has a wonderful gift for storytelling and believable characters. That being said, this book, like all the others that I've read really forces you to look at some very interesting life choices and the impact they have not just on your life but the lives of others. Charlotte, Adam and Seth are all likable and it's impossible not to root for them all. I love that there were no "bad guys", just an impossible situation that was handled beautifully, I think. I laughed so hard at times and shed some tears. This was a completely captivating story that has me looking for my next Renee Carlino to add to my collection.
