What to expect
Diana O'Toole's life is going perfectly to plan. At twenty-nine, she's up for promotion to her dream job as an art specialist at Sotheby's and she's about to fly to the Galápagos where she's convinced her surgeon boyfriend, Finn, is going to propose.
But then the virus hits New York City and Finn breaks the news: the hospital needs him, he has to stay. But you should still go, he insists. And reluctantly, she agrees.
Once she's in the Galápagos, the world shuts down around her, leaving Diana stranded - albeit in paradise. Completely isolated, with only intermittent news from the outside world, Diana finds herself examining everything that has brought her to this point and wondering if there's a better way to live.
But not everything is as it seems . . .

Critics Review
A haunting yet uplifting story about the fear and isolation of the pandemic, and the surprising ways in which it forced many people to rethink their priorities
A writer the world needs to be reading right now
It is hard to exaggerate how well Picoult writes
There are writers who try and do what Picoult does, and then there’s Picoult
Taps into the trauma and uncertainty of 2020’s global crisis. Absolutely a must-read
We couldn’t turn the pages fast enough
Extraordinary… it’s such a great book
A must-read. Striking, eloquent, and thought-provoking… Emotionally intelligent and perceptive…This is Jodi Picoult at her best
Surprising, emotional yet uplifting, this is a top read
If reading became a struggle for you during the pandemic, let Jodi Picoult show you how page-turning magic is not lost… This will make you laugh, nod and cry – and at one point gasp out loud with a twist you will not see coming. Sometimes you will take a moment to let it all sink in. Superb
Another fantastic and clever read from Picoult
A fascinating exploration of the very nature of reality
Picoult is at her best when bringing the magnificence of the Galapagos to life in all its strange and colourful glory… A few hours after finishing Wish You Were Here I broke down in tears… This is a book worth reading, a book which reminds us that our futures are not guaranteed or inevitable
Beautiful, beautiful prose and rich storytelling. I just loved it
A powerfully evocative story of the resilience and triumph of the human spirit
