About the Book:
With Love from Wish & Co is a heart-warming novel about what we are prepared to give, and give up, in the name of love.
Marnie Fairchild is the brains and talent behind Wish & Co, a boutique store that offers a bespoke gift-buying service to wealthy clients with complicated lives. Brian Charlesworth is Marnie's most prized customer, and today she's wrapping the perfect anniversary gift for his wife, Suzanne . . . and a birthday present for his mistress, Leona. What could possibly go wrong?
For years, Marnie's had her heart set on moving Wish & Co to the historic shopfront once owned by her grandfather. When the chance to bid for the property unexpectedly arises, Marnie – distracted – makes an uncharacteristic mistake.
Soon Brian is in a fight to rescue his marriage, and Marnie is scrabbling to keep her dreams alive. With so much at stake, the last thing Marnie needs is to fall for Brian and Suzanne's son.

My Thoughts:
Minnie Darke is an auto-buy for me, I don't even need to read the synopsis to know that I'll be reading her latest book. Her stories are divine and the very essence of 'feel good' - which is what I was craving after reading Prophet Song in a day!
In her latest, With Love from Wish & Co, we are drawn into a family drama, a business crisis, and a new love story. I love the way Minnie Darke always writes such a fresh story - a unique premise, no cliched formulaic romance tropes, realistic characters, and a discussion worthy moralistic twist.
Marnie Fairchild runs a business that specialises in gift buying, mostly for wealthy men who don't have the time or 'inspiration' to buy for their wives, parents, siblings and... mistresses. When a mix-up occurs with the gifts for one of her most lucrative clients, Marnie faces an unprecedented reckoning that couldn't be more ill-timed for her future business prospects. Added into the mix is an unexpected romance built on a white lie.
I devoured this novel inside three days in the middle of a busy working week. It was that good, I was willing to sacrifice sleep for it.
