Sadly, despite trying to get into the book several different times, it just didn't do it for me. The beginning was so slow and didn't make me want to keep reading to see how the plot unfolded. Though the story line grabbed my attention, it just didn't deliver for me.

I just didn't love this one as much as I had hoped I would. The relationship development in between the the two main characters Marnie and Luke was lacking. I didn't see any chemistry between the two of them. I am also not a fan of Marnie trying to fix a relationship by buying gifts for a man who was caught cheating. Just rubs me the wrong way.

With Love from Wish & Co by Minnie Drake was a cute read. Need a Hallmark movie ish read this book is for you.

This was a quick and fun read that told the story of Marnie, the owner of a boutique gift store whose blunder sends her reeling to make amends. I thought this story was perfectly sweet and hit the spot. Thank you to Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine for gifting me an eARC of this novel.

I read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I wouldn't say this is my favourite book of the author's. It was beautifully written, and the characters were very fleshed out. It just wasn't one of those happy romances. Basically everyone had hurt someone in some way to get what they wanted. Including Marnie the main character.
While I appreciate that life is like this, it just made me sad reading about it. My feelings for the events in this book no way detract from the quality of this read, which is 4 stars.

“With Love from Wish & Co” by Minne Darke was a sweet book and an easy read. I throughly enjoyed the plot and the characters. It was a slow start for me but I would recommend this light-hearted romance as it’s perfect for a road trip or beside a warm fire.

Thank you NetGalley and Random House Publishing - Ballentine for my digital arc in exchange for my honest review.

Thanks to Netgalley for supplying the ebook ARC for me to read.

I thought this story was very charming and the author is an excellent world builder providing all the necessary information needed to truly enjoy this story.

I was really drawn to Marnie.and thought she was the star of the story. My next favorite character was Suzanne, A woman whose husband employed Marnie as his personal shopper to buy gifts for Suzanne, his grown children as well as his mistress. A life changing event occurs causing big changes in Suzanne and Marnie's lives.

I enjoyed reading this story.

I received an ARC of this novel from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

A sweet romantic comedy that is predictable but still worth reading. I love Marnie.

This was a charming and cosy read. Although it took me a little while to get into this, the plot was entertaining and enjoyable

Highly recommended for readers looking for a quick and sweet rom-com.

This was the first time I have read anything by this author, but it won’t be the last!

Marnie has been working hard her entire life to be a successful business owner and to one day own her grandfather’s old shop in a prominent neighborhood. One mistake with her best customer, Brian, might derail those lifelong goals, but she refuses to let that happen. Instead, she works even harder to fix the mistake. But while doing so, she starts falling for a man who makes her question her current business model and what she’s willing to do to reach her goals. While the relationship with this man grows, she knows that she’s keeping a major secret from him about one of her current clients, which impacts his family. The development of this relationship, along with the disagreements between the two about her job, made me not want to put the book down. I also felt that the author did a good job of getting the reader to see both sides of the argument where neither one was necessarily right nor wrong. They just saw the issue differently.

This book also delved into the lives of others – Marnie’s best friend, Brian, Brian’s wife, and Brian’s mistress. All of the characters were interesting and gave you a different perspective of the book’s events. I really enjoyed the way the author wrote the characters because you could empathize with all of them on some level and I think that’s important for any book to be truly good.

I definitely recommend this book and I can’t wait to read Minnie Darke’s other novels!

‘With Love From Wish & Co’, is my first Minnie Darke novel. I quite thoroughly enjoyed this easy to read book. I loved the storyline of a woman that owns a company that buys gifts for other people. Marnie’s ability to ‘stalk/research’ just the right gift, for a person was enlightening. I will definitely seek out other Minnie Darke novels.

Like a cozy sweater, this story brings warm hearted comfort. Minnie makes an innocent mistake at her gift wrapping store and it leads to her life being thrown a few curveballs. Minnie is a great main character, ambitious and driven. Luke and Minnie are well fleshed out and I loved reading their love story unfold. Thanks to NetGalley and Random House for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

For once I have found a RomCom with truly likeable characters and stakes. Luke and Marnie are kind, adult, genuine people who you want to root for the entire time. Marnie makes one honest mistake (as we all do), but it leads to a romance she never saw coming. This novel also posed an interesting question that I had never truly thought about: would you care less about a gift if it was chosen for you by a complete stranger?

A cute, heart warming romance surrounded by tales of love, infidelity, family, and ambition. Marnie has a gift giving shop and an innocent mistake leads to secrets being revealed that have the potential to devastate. Enter Luke, who experiences collateral damage as a result of the mistake but finds love with Marnie. This was a solid 3.5 stars and the writing style felt like a warm blanket being wrapped around me.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for this ARC. Marnie spends her time as a professional gift shopper....until a mishap. One gift goes to a man's wife and one to his mistress but they were accidentally switched. Marnie has to find a way to fix the mistake while keep her business. I read and loved Darke's The Last Love Song so I knew I would love this book too! Read it!

I wish to thank NetGalley and Penguin Random House Publishing - Dell Books for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this book. I have voluntarily read and reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is a must read for every romantic on the planet. I simply loved the entire concept of the story. A professional gift buyer sounds like the best job in the world and one I that I would love to have. When careful plans go astray how does a professional save the day? You just have to read this one to find out but it is amazing and I loved it from the very beginning until the very end. The characters are delightful and the writing is outstanding. I cannot wait to read more from this author. Marnie the main character stays true to her values even at an immense cost to herself. You will love her.

With Love From Wish & Co had such a great premise and I felt immediately invested in Marnie's predicament. Marnie felt like a very real character with hopes and dreams that were put in jeopardy after mixing up the gifts intended for client Brian's wife and mistress. The book focuses on both Brian and his estranged wife Suzanne as well as Marnie and Brian's son Luke. I felt like the book was at its peak in the chapters featuring Marnie and Luke. I loved their relationship and all the trials they went through felt super realistic and not plot devices. Brian never grew on me, so I wasn't as interested in him and Suzanne mending their relationship. The writing style was excellent and the pacing was perfect.

*Will post on Amazon upon publication

Marine Fairchild has always dreamed of owning her own business and she does- Wish and Company, a cute store front that sells gifts, wraps gifts and teaches gift wrapping. And Marnie is also a buyer. A buyer of gifts for wealthy folks, mostly men, those who don't have time (many moms), and a few select others. One of Marnie's top clients is Brian Charlesworth a busy, wealthy man who is a terrible gift giver.

Brian has hired Marnie to send a few gifts and she makes a crucial mistake. One that puts her 2nd dream of owning her grandfathers old property in jeopardy. While trying to fix the mistake and keep her dream alive she makes a deal with Mr Charlesworth.

Marnie also meets Luke Charlesworth and they have a few words about the situation that Marnie is involved in. Luke also finds out about a few thing from his past that influence his present and the Charlesworth family future.

Trust me when I say you will want to to read Wish & Co as it is a brilliantly written story about love, family, romance, trust and forgiveness. It tells a wonderful story and is incredibly well written. The characters are beyond real and very believable.

After reading so many murder mystery books, this was the perfect book to brighten my mood.
Minnie Darke has written a beautiful love story of a young woman that the knack for finding the perfect gift for anyone.
Many men find this useful when there are more than one woman in their lives.
This is the story of not only finding the perfect gift, teaching others to be finding the gift from their hearts.
This is book is a made for TV movie book.

I was preapproved for this title and wasn’t completely sold on it for the first few pages but I was hooked by the third chapter! Heartfelt and cute, I’m so glad I gave it a shot.
