I loved this book! It's well-written, enjoyable, and a great read. The author did a great job of writing in a way that captures the readers attention, and makes you not want to put it down until you're finished! I would highly recommend it!

This story is based on a real building.

Marnie Fairchild runs the family business Wish & Company where she services high end clientele who don't want the task of gift buying. Marnie is a meticulous person who keeps superb records to help her clients keep track of their gift giving to avoid embarrassing duplicates. Her business is particularly kept afloat by one particular client, Brian Charlesworth who not only needs to keep track of his presents to wife, Suzanne, but also to his mistress, Leona. This is a light, romantic story with humorous moments when the ever perfect Marnie becomes distracted and accidently gets some gifts mixed up.

It's a story which makes you consider what a gift represents, is something a person needs or wants? Will it make the person happy? Can you really entrust this personal experience to someone else? It seems to lose it's precious value.

Thank you NetGalley and Random House Publishing for allowing me to read this book for review consideration. My honest review is my unbiased opinion.

Very predictable and a bit corny at moments this felt very hallmark movie. Low conflict and substance… I was not a fan

I loved the concept of this one SO MUCH!!

It had alll perfect "fixings" for a holiday themed novel!

I loved the interwoven themes of love, family, honestly and mistakes.

I really enjoyed the substance this book had and it was such a fun lighthearted feel good book!

This was a very interesting and easy to follow book, but so long winded. At least 50-60 pages could have been cut to make it more tight and streamlined. 3.5, rounded up to 4 stars.

With Love from Wish & Co was a quick, easy read. Unfortunately I feel that had more to do with the lack of character development. I didn't feel like I actually connected to the story, but overall, a nice, light pallet cleanser.

This story took me SO long to get into and then even once I did, it felt SO LONG. Marnie was likeable character with an interesting job. While I didn’t agree with her decisions at the beginning, I understood them. Brian and Suzanne’s story was redemptive. Luke was a great character, until the third act, when I just had to roll my eyes at him. This had good bones and characters I either wanted to punch in the face or that I really enjoyed. I think it was simply too long and it didn’t need to be. Take out about 100 pages, and this was probably a 4-star read.

I didn’t LOVE this one. I picked this up wanting a piece of Christmas whimsy, and was instead met with a lot of Christmas family baggage.

Overall, this missed the holiday vibe mark I was looking for.

Marnie is the owner of Wish & Company, a gift buying service with high dollar clients - some with complicated gift recipients. Her greatest wish is to buy her Grandfather's historic building for her thriving business. Unfortunately it is going to auction and she will be up against prospective buyers with much deeper pockets.
As usual, nothing comes easy for Marnie. Distracted by an old friend (with benefits) and the opportunity to see the building Marnie does the unthinkable.
As a fortieth anniversary is being celebrated, the wife clearly opens a gift meant for a mistress!
A separation follows, the angry client blames her and threatens her business.
What can Marnie do to save the marriage, her business and the chance to own a legacy building.
Lots of good friends, a possible love relationship, a secret from the past, deciding what is more important in life and coming to terms with past family angst bring us full circle in this cozy romantic story.
Quick read, definitely worth reading!

Thank you @randomhouse

I received a complimentary copy of this book, all opinions are my own.

Minnie Darke's With Love from Wish & Co. follows Marnie Fairchild as she navigates the world of the wealthy and their secrets. She's a personal shopper (and TBH that's a job I would love to have somewhere in the multiverse). This book is about more than gifts and fancy things, however. It's about the complexities of human relationships.

Things start to fall apart when two boxes become mixed up and are delivered to the wrong recipients - leading to the unraveling of a web of secrets and lies.

The book is a mix of light and dark wrapped in a bow of humor.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for sharing this book with me. All thoughts are my own.

This story was a light-hearted romance with some good depth to it. Marnie is a gift buyer for those who don't have time to buy gifts for their loved ones themselves. She dreams of moving her shop to the historic storefront that was previously owned by her grandfather. A mix up of gifts for a wealthy client causes gifts for a wife and a mistress to be swapped. To top it all off, Marnie meets Luke, the son of the man who bought those gifts. This was one of those books that had me smiling throughout. This book alternates between the perspective of several characters, in addition to Marnie. I liked that all the protagonists had POVs and thought that added to the reading experience. This book has a lot of heart and I really liked how all the characters were developed throughout. Overall, this was a light hearted read and I would certainly recommend it.

This was a light-hearted, quick read! Not super deep, but that is preferred at this time of year when life is chaos. I didn't connect with any of the characters, and I wished there would have been a bit more character development throughout the book, but I still enjoyed it.

Even though the story started off slow, once the story got going I throughly enjoyed myself. Marnie trying to fix all her mistakes while at the same time juggle a secret relationship with Luke, had me cracking up and even though the ending was a little predictable I still ended the story with a smile on my face.

This was such an adorable story about a classic mix up and all the chaos that ensues afterwards. I loved this sweet, easy-going read and could not put it down. Thank you to NetGalley, Random House, and Ballentine Books for a copy of this book for an honest review.

Sometimes you really need a light-hearted novel to lift your spirits. With Love from Wish & Co is just such a book. Filled with quirky characters that will draw you in, this is a book that you will love so much you'll want to read it again and again.

I'm glad I finally made time to read this one. A funny story of what happens when a gift shop owner mixes up a gift for the wife and the lover.. Loved the character of the owner of Wish & Co. An enjoyable read

Minnie Darke's With Love from Wish & Co, was a fun, quick, and light-hearted read. Perfect for curling up outside in the sun and enjoying the last few moments of warmth.

This book was a cute read with an ending that I knew was going to be happy. I enjoyed the development of the relationships, and Marnie’s career of choice was interesting and unique. I recommend for those looking for a feel good read!

I think I'm rounding up from 2.5 stars on this one. I didn't love it. So much of it just felt pretentious to me, especially when the ethics of Marnie's gift giving business was discussed. So many of those conversations were with her love interest, Luke. Weirdly enough, Luke had is own side story and I was SOOO much more intrigued by the storyline than the main story. If I could have more Luke and Ivy, the stars given would have been higher.
