There are many ways that one comes across a book, and one of
those ways is by recommendation of another. That is exactly what happened with
WISH YOU WERE HERE by BETH K VOGT.
At a writing meeting I attended, a guest author and
Brainstorm/Huddle Coach, spoke highly of WISH YOU WERE HERE. So much so, when I returned home I went
online and purchased a copy. She spoke of the brilliant way she structured the
story and the plot, despite the fact she didn’t care for the ending.
There was nothing fairy tale about Allison Denman’s walk down
the aisle. In fact, you might say it was downright disastrous. Kissing her
future husbands brother days before their wedding was neither in her plans nor
a good idea. Seth Rayner is all Allison has ever known. Yet it is his brother
Daniel that has her dreaming things she never imagined before.
Aside from MS VOGT being a wonderful writer, accurately
incorporating every element needed to write a great story, I believe this has
to be the first romance I’ve read that I was truly stumped at the outcome. For
some time I thought I knew, then it became unclear, then it made sense, and in
the end being something else...kind of. I take my hat off to MS VOGT for being
able to pull off such an accomplishment.
I feel blessed to have read WISH YOU WERE HERE. As a writer,
I learned a lot. I really enjoyed the story, and if there were anything I would
change, perhaps it might be the ending. However, to be honest, I was okay with
it.
