With Love from Wish & Co. follows Marnie, a professional gift-giver, in the days leading up to and after a mistake that could potentially cost her her business-- in a rush to get out the door, she accidentally swaps the cards for Brian Charlesworth's wife and mistress. On the day of her 40th wedding anniversary, Suzanne Charlesworth opens a card from her husband-- and the gift meant for Leona Quick, his former (and once-again) mistress.
In the wake of this mistake, a marriage implodes, Marnie risks losing out on purchasing a building that's been in her family for years, and Marnie and Brian's son, Luke, get to know each other better.
One thing I really loved about this book is that, though the story is primarily Marnie's, all the main players have occasional chapters that follow them, which gives us insight into their lives and makes the story feel that much more well-rounded and added a depth to every aspect of the story.
With Love from With & Co. is masterfully written, and I can't wait to read more from Minnie Darke.

This author is brand new to me, so I took a chance on this (recommended) unedited ARC. I am glad I did!
(I am basing my comments and rating on the merits of the story, and not the grammar or punctuation.) :)

Okay, so... in truth, it took me a few chapters to warm up to the author's writing style. It was different to me, but not in a bad way! Just different. There are a great many details in the first few chapters, so I recommend paying attention. (You'll be glad you did. I went back and re-read them to be sure of some things.) While infidelity is one main element of this read, it is only part of this story. Soo many other things that make this story fun to read! I loved the Happy Ever After, it was just what I wanted!

I had no expectations going into this read, but ended the read very entertained, and with a happy heart.

I like the creativity and craftsmanship of this author. The relationships between the characters are well connected and thoughtful. Marnie is very easy to like and I could relate to her drive to succeed. Without spoiling your read, I will say the men are easy to love (or hate) for their qualities and detriments. Time passed quickly, and I was at the end of this book faster than I wanted to be. I love those kinds of reads!

I recommend this book, and this author. I will definitely be looking forward to her next release!
