However, the novel does offer some thought-provoking insights into the nature of love and loss in the time of a pandemic.

Picoult’s writing is sharp and witty, and she does a great job of capturing the absurdity of the pandemic and the resilience of the human spirit.

Wish You Were Here is a novel that spoke to me on a personal level. I, too, was in a long-distance relationship during the pandemic, and I could relate to Diana’s struggles.
