This was a cute and quick read. Perfect for some light summer reading by the pool. Nothing too heavy. The parts that were supposed to be dramatic and heartbreaking were very lightly written so they weren't overly emotional to read at all. If I had been in the mood for something heavier or more emotionally charged this would have been a disappointment, but since it is summer and I tend to lean more toward fluffy contemporary during this time of year, this was perfect.
In this cute romance we follow Viola, who has had her heart broken by her best friend when he revealed he was gay two years into their relationship. They are still the best of friends, but it killed something inside of her when they broke up and she hasn't recovered. One day she makes a wish to belong again that is so strong it gets a jinn assigned to her to grant three wishes. Jinn very much does not want to be on Earth and wants to grant the wishes as quickly as possible so he can get back home. Viola isn't his typical master though and refuses to make her wishes, thus forcing Jinn to stay until she does. Over time she and Jinn get closer and closer and he finally realizes he is in love with her. This breaks all the protocol for a jinn and he knows there will be a hefty price to pay when he gets home. If he gets home. They try very hard for Viola not to make her last wish because once she does, Jinn will have to return home and she will forget she ever met him. Will their romance be able to survive with such obstacles standing in their way?
Overall, this was a nice whimsical read and a great beach book. I would recommend this if you're in the mood for some light-hearted romance that will make you smile.
