Review: For those who love travel, recent history, and ART! - This book is unlike many others I’ve read. The backdrop of art and historical references are my favorite elements. A true story of self discovery and revelation, told in a fascinating way. Great read!
Review: Important and interesting book - Jodi Picoult is known for taking current events and making them into interesting and intimate stories. In this book, she covers the Covid pandemic. Diana works at Sotheby's in acquisitions, while her boyfriend Finn is a resident doctor at an NYC hospital. They've planned a trip to the Galapagos Islands when a few cases of Covid hit the city. Finn has to stay but urges Diana to take the non-refundable trip. She arrives only to find she's stranded there on Isabela Island with iffy wi-fi and everything closed down, including her hotel. She's taken in by a lovely lady who only speaks Spanish while Diana doesn't, and the first half of the book is Diana reevaluating her life as she struggles to keep in touch with Finn while acclimating to island life. Then there's a huge twist, but no spoilers. Diana and Finn have been perfect for each other, long-term planners and A-types, so life on the island alone with lost luggage and little money is a big adjustment for Diana. At the same time, she gets periodic emails from Finn describing the progress of the pandemic in his hospital. Most of this is familiar information if you paid attention during the worst of Covid, but it still hits hard, especially contrasted with Diana's hiking and swimming days. The twist halfway through the book changes everything and almost turns this into a different but still interesting story. I enjoyed the vivid descriptions of the Galapagos and, in a different way, the compelling stories of the pandemic. Some political commentary won't please every reader, but I found it factual and well-researched. A very thought-provoking book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wish You Were Here
*by M***N on August 24, 2025*

Wish You Were Here is a beautifully written book with vivid descriptions that made me feel like I was right there in the scenes—or even watching a movie version unfold. The author did a wonderful job developing the characters, making them feel real and relatable. I found the storyline about COVID especially engaging. It was interesting to see the medical side of the pandemic portrayed in such detail. As an RN, I had chosen to stay home with my kids when their schools closed, so I didn’t experience the medical side of COVID firsthand until I later worked as a substitute nurse in our local school district. Reading this book gave me a deeper perspective on what was happening in that world during that time. I highly recommend this book—it’s not only well written, but it also offers a moving and thought-provoking look at life during COVID.
