Explanation During 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.Declare Books To As You Wish (Genies #1)

Have you ever wanted something so badWhat if all of a sudden you had 3 wishes to grant your hearts desire?Viola has been granted 3 wishes by a genie called Jinn and all shes ever wanted was to belong. Viola soon finds herself spending a lot of time with Jinn which consequently develop into something more than friendship. With only 2 wishes left, Viola has to decide what shes willing to do to keep Jinn in her life.Jackson Pearces As You Wish is a delightfully fun story where wishes do come trueIve 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
Full Review | Picture taken by yours trulyThe books plot is relatively simple. Girl meets Jinn, Jinn has to grant her three wishes and then POOF, disappear forever. Things start to get complicated when both of them starting falling for each other and realize that its impossible for them to actually be together because the minute she makes that last wish, hell disappear forever and shell lose any memory of him that she had.This book was a quick light read. Thats all. Nothing more and nothing
Okay, so you may think the synopsis looks ridiculous. You may be right. But the delivery was surprisingly well-done. I mean, don't get me wrong, this isn't a deep, insightful read with a progressive build-up of the main protagonists' relationship. But the narrator was relatable and actually learned from her mistakes, and I liked her relationship with Jinn. It was all super cute and adorable, if a bit rushed (but like I said, the tone is deliberately light so depth is not what you're looking for
I just...what the FUCK were they thinking when they designed the cover?It seems to go from bad to worse in its progression from ARC to real book, frankly.
I had high hopes for As You Wish and I can safely say that Jackson Pearce did not disappoint. As You Wish is told in alternating chapters between Viola and Jinn. Jinn by the way is the name Viola calls him but he is really a jinn and has no name. Jackson Pearce kept me hooked onto As You Wish from the first page. Viola has this fresh honest voice which I love. Her thoughts and feelings were evident and heartfelt. Reading the book in Jinn's POV gave me a good idea on how he was feeling and his
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.
