Ever since Viola's boyfriend broke up with her, she has spent her days silently wishing—to have someone love her again and, more importantly, to belong again—until one day she inadvertently summons a young genie out of his world and into her own. He will remain until she makes three wishes.
Jinn is anxious to return home, but Viola is terrified of wishing, afraid she will not wish for the right thing, the thing that will make her truly happy. As the two spend time together, the lines between master and servant begin to blur, and soon Jinn can't deny that he's falling for Viola. But it's only after Viola makes her first wish that she realizes she's in love with Jinn as well . . . and that if she wishes twice more, he will disappear from her life—and her world—forever.
Jackson Pearce spins a magical tale about star-crossed lovers, what it means to belong . . . and how important it is to be careful what you wish for.
I really am not in the mood to post reviews, but I figured I should at least note this to keep record of what I've been reading. Honestly, this was a really fun read, though I'm not sure I liked the ending all that much. I could see it working better if the characters were older, but at 16 I wasn't buying it so much. Maybe I'm just becoming an old lady. Anyhow, I also had some issues with the world building of the jinn, as I don't think it made much sense. And randomly, I hated the type-set on the pages themselves. I don't like double-spaced in text documents (it reminds me too much of all the papers I've had to grade over the years), so that bothered me. All of these, however, certainly didn't keep me from thinking about this book, and rushing home to finish it yesterday afternoon. It was certainly a fun read, light and enjoyable for summer :)
