Representaion Conducive To Books As You Wish (Genies #1)
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.Rating Containing Books As You Wish (Genies #1)

Sounds like the synopsis for the next Disney movie, right? Maybebut its one that would appeal to both the children AND the parents. AS YOU WISH took me by surprise with its sincere charm, lighthearted humor, and the best kind of romance.The development of Viola and Jinns from master-genie to romantic love was extraordinarily well done. It was subtle and likable, like a romantic comedy movie unfolding before your eyes, except in words. It seemed completely natural for them to start off wary ofLoved it! When I bought this book, I just expected a sweet and fun read which it was but it also had alot of heart. It was not only a story about love but also about belonging and self image. It is an effortless read that I didn't want to put down. I love the dual narration, allowing us to get to know both characters thoughts and feelings as they developed a friendship which then grew into love. Viola is a likeable and realistic character, feeling broken and invisible. Watching her grow and
MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE ROMANCE STORY!!!Thats all I need to say. Except maybe, I LOVE JINN!!!HAHA
I absolutely loved this book. I loved Jinn, Viola, but really just loved the whole book. This reminded me so much of first love, and how it makes you feel like you can beat all of the odds. Beautiful story from beginning to end, heart-wrenching in some, and so unputdownable!
A shame because I like the idea of jinn. But I've seen this stupid MC is plenty of YA books before and since I have a lot of books on my shelf. I'm not going to finish it. Small review to come in a series of DNF reviews I'm doing.
Entertaining, Amusing, Heart Warming, Brilliant. Perfect!I can't believe how much I absolutely love this book!!It has this over-whelming, amazing, ear-to-ear goofy grin, feel that just makes you want to curl up and read it all over again!This was just suppose to be a random book I picked up, a chaser, to take a break from my paranormal shots. But this was so much more! As You Wish is a beautiful story that makes you think about what really defines the real you. It takes you on a journey of
Ive admired Jackson as a writer before I even read her novel. And now that Ive actually read one of her novels, the admiration continues. Shes a genius. Funny, off the wall, talented writer. I loved Viola. I saw so much of myself in her, it was scary. Remembering how it feels to be absolutely invisible, and not even being able to see yourself clearly. Very real teen characters, dealing with even more realistic situations, you know, despite the whole magical aspect. As You Wish is a light and fun
