Deedee Merriman loves her job running a travel
agency but with turnover down and a big birthday fast approaching she’s
thinking about the next chapter of her life and the changes she wants to make.
Determined to stay vibrant and keep a youthful outlook on
life she invites her friends, Gina
and Rosie to celebrate with her in
New York, one of her favourite places and where she feels closest to her late
husband, Joe.
On arrival, there’s a surprise, secret gift in store for
Deedee of a small, ramshackle beach house in the beautiful Hamptons where Joe
spent his childhood. But the house isn’t the only secret and discovering the
truth will change everything….
Wish You Were Here is an emotional, romantic story about female friendship and
finding love after loss in the city that never sleeps and the sand dunes with
stunning sunsets of the Hamptons.
My Thoughts: The friendships in this book are
amazing. Deedee has the friendships
that women dream of. Gina and Rosie
understand what Deedee needs before she even knows it herself. They give her space when she needs it, keep
her company when needed, and always support her. I love that their friendship is on the new side,
but it feels like it has years of understanding and knowledge.
I have never visited New York but it is on my list of places
to be visited. I love how Gina and Rosie
chose where to go. Visiting movie
locations is a great way to see a city with so much to offer. The surprise that Joe, Deedee’s late
husband, left her made me cry.
This is my first Alex Brown book and I am excited to read
more.
