Sometimes home is a person not a place …
Max Henderson loves her life in the idyllic English village of Brookford. Her family is nearby, and her job allows her to indulge her passion for growing, cooking and writing about food.
When Max’s husband, James, tells her he’s been transferred to New York, Max is thrilled for him ‒ it’s the role he’s always aspired to. But as excited as she is for James, she’s torn between the thought of leaving her home, the people she cares about and her own ambitions, and the possibility of a new start for her and James. To complicate matters, the New York move is just the first in a series of blows that leave Max reeling.
If Max follows her heart, will she have to leave her dreams behind? Or can they guide her home to the man she loves?

Great characters, an enjoyable plot and lots of foodie tiips!

Wish You Were Here is Jo's third book and - as an observer from afar - I can see the growth in her writing and character development with each new release. The thing that draws me to her blog (and her I guess) is a sense of familiarity in her writing: an informality that engages me and draws me in. And her books offer that same level of intimacy.

Jo's books are loosely linked - through minor characters becoming the focus in each new outing. I love the continuity it offers and forethought it shows; giving readers the opportunity to piece together the timeframes and relationships.

Jo's characters are always her strong point and this was no different. Maxine (Max / Maxi) was a delight and readers are there for her 'awakening' if you like. I loved that Jo puts us firmly in Max's head as she ponders her relationships with James and best male friend, Richie. She's prone to a bit of over-analysis... so I could very much relate.

I found James to be a bit of a cliché - something I recall about an ex-boyfriend from one of Jo's previous novels. I'm not sure if it's a romance / chick lit novel thing - the stereotypical / extreme characters (like Daniel Cleaver in Bridget Jones' Diary). You can kinda see what's coming and it's obvious they're a bit of a prick and things aren't gonna end well...

Again Jo's surrounded her leads with a great cast of characters and these were probably the strongest yet - perhaps because we're offered such an array via Max and Richie's families and friends.

Surprisingly one of my favourite elements of this novel was the inclusion of Max's blog posts on a 'foodie' blog. Max's (and Jo's) voice came through with strong familiarity and her / their passion for cooking and fresh produce were evident through the use of the first person posts.

Again I cried. It wasn't until it happened I was reminded that I had done so in both of Jo's other books and she's great at building that emotion to that point of 'conflict' and exploring that vulnerability we so often avoid.

And finally, Jo again shares her love of travel throughout this book. On her blog she'd talked about the fact she was using a UK holiday last year to inspire this novel as well as her love for New Zealand.

Despite my usual antipathy towards romance and chick lit, I very much enjoyed this book. I initially thought t it was going to be a tad predictable as we can guess where it's heading, but that's when the real-life stuff kicks in and things get complicated.

Jackson pretty much had a normal teenage life. With two parents who were overly worried about him due to their divorce, to his best friend, Brady, who pretty much had the best ideas for the both of them, Jackson's life was the way he liked it. He was just too excited about his senior year and the plans he and Brady were making, like getting an apartment close to school.

Then everything changed when Jackson hadn't heard from Brady for quite some time. Turns out Brady ran away right after the fight he had with his father when he was hanging out with Jackson. With no phone calls, messages, or any details, no one knows where he went. He was the talk of the town; that is, until his disappearance was all-too-soon forgotten.

Everyone around Jackson seems to be moving on. His mom is dating a very successful businessman who really loves her, and the prospect of getting married is very positive. His dad has met a personal trainer who he seems to really like, but of course she could just be another one of his girlfriends. And his friends are starting not to care about what happened to Brady.

Jackson's dad, mom, and even his grandmother are trying to get him to move on. It's up to him to make the move, to forget about Brady and find his own identity.

An edgy and realistic novel, WISH YOU WERE HERE is one of the few teen novels out there that even guys can enjoy. Jackson is a character that anyone can relate to, and the teen angst in the novel is current for this generation. A perfectly chosen novel for a personal revival.

A Great Book for Young Adults and Not-so-Young Adults.

1 March 2007 - Published on Amazon.com

Jackson has lived many years in the shadow of his manipulative friend Brady, but one day Brady decides to run away without a warning to anyone and doesn't contact anyone for many months. Jackson has to experience a lot of changes in his life without his selfish, domineering friend around to realize just what a jerk he actually was, and his experiences make him all the richer by far for it all. His mother remarries and he acquires two little sisters, his father--a professional roadie--almost dies after a fall, and he ends up betraying his love interest while taking up with Brady's needy exgirlfriend who ends up committing suicide. Add getting into some trouble and a very strange marriage between his father and Brady's mother to the mix, and you have a very touching, often funny, and very realistic look at life as it is for lots of teens on the brink of adulthood today.

It is his reunion with Brady at a Grateful Dead concert resulting in a road trip to Graceland that reveals the truth about their friendship, however, and helps Jackson to finally heal a year after his former friend's disappearance. It appears one friend has grown up and the other never will at all. I liked the truthful resolve of the book rather than the happy ending, and that's what makes this rich, involving story such a gem. A realistic and highly recommended read regardless of age, Wish You Were Here is a story of self-discovery and the satisfaction that the pain of the journey can finally bring.
