About the Book:
Don’t get mad, get Ethan!
Lana has had enough. Her ‘perfect’ sister is getting married. In Australia. On Lana’s 30th birthday and no one seems to have noticed. To make matters worse, she’s been given a list of rules she must follow so she doesn’t upstage the bride. Well, rules are meant to be bent right?
She’s found a killer dress, now she just needs the most inappropriate wedding date she can find. But where to start? All her attempts at online dating are simply disasters, and not in the right way! Too boring/married/easily intimidated! But then her drop dead gorgeous ex Ethan suddenly reappears in her life. With the power to make her dizzy with excitement she reminds herself why they broke up. Together they literally attracted chaos until their relationship imploded. They couldn’t make it work. But could Lana make this work in her favour… just for the wedding?
However, when they arrive in Australia Ethan seems to have forgotten he’s only there to help cause bedlam. Instead he’s off the charts charming, nothing like she remembers and not playing by her rules. She’s here for revenge, not a rekindled holiday romance…but Ethan has other ideas!
A laugh-out-loud, fake dating romantic comedy from million-copy bestseller Portia MacIntosh
My Review:
Wish You Weren't Here is a great novel.
Lana's character was written so well. Her parents are divorced and she was raised by her mom. Her dad married a snob, they had another daughter, and Lana was basically left out of his new life. When Lana's sister decides to have a post destination wedding, in Australia, she also decides to get married on Lana's birthday. I mean, who does that?! She's expected to be there and because she's the "wild child," they pile a bunch of rules on Lana. Enter the plan for the most over-the-top plus-one Lana can find - and it ends up being Ethan, her ex. I enjoyed the chemistry between Lana and Ethan.
This story is a British romcom that had me chuckling out loud. I also felt the emotions the writer wrote into her characters. The story is fast-paced, easy to follow, and I loved the setting. I've not had a chance to ready anything by Portia MacIntosh until Wish You Weren't Here. This won't be my last venture into her books.
