Wish You Were Here

This was most definitely not the next book I planned to finish reading. I got the message that my library had bought the ebook per my request, and I downloaded it and just wanted to peek at a few pages. Next thing I knew, I was being teased by a coworker for “texting and walking” and almost forgetting I was waiting for a take-out meal at the restaurant and (whispering) looking forward to stoplights.

For some reason these characters really clicked for me. And I loved the detail...Allison's favorite books and movies and authors (which in many instances are mine), the mention of NCIS's Gibbs and the comment about “how does he ever get the boats out of his basement?”, at which I actually chuckled aloud, since I've often wondered the exact same thing. This book also reminded me of how much I love the Colorado landscape, and how badly I need to plan for my next feast of Colorado-blue skies and hiking where the air feels so clean. It's been way too many years since I glimpsed Pike's Peak, Garden of the Gods, and Estes Park. And I could almost expect to see these people when I go, they seem so real!

The only thing that bothered me about the book was the phrase about frothing a Frappuchino. Um..??? I've made my fair share of cafe drinks, and it doesn't work that way. But can you tell I liked it if I'm picking at only three words?
