Representaion 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 Epithetical Books As You Wish (Genies #1)

MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE ROMANCE STORY!!!Thats all I need to say. Except maybe, I LOVE JINN!!!HAHAI loved the message of happiness and feeling whole coming from within oneself and not from external influences that was found in As You Wish. The romance was sweet and I got the sense that Jinn really did love Viola. I liked the way he just held her in his arms, instead of rushing into passionate kissing. The one part where Viola tells Jinn, who doesn't sleep, that he can stay but that he can't watch her sleep all night, because that would be weird, really cracked me up and made me think of
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
A clever and charming story about love (including the love that just can't be). Light and easy to read, but thought-provoking as well. I didn't want it to end!
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
I read Jackson Pearce's AS YOU WISH back to back with Malinda Lo's ASH, and I'm going to write more about what an interesting experience that was when we review the books at length next week on the Beautiful Creatures site. Quickly, though, it's amazing how smart and how different and how completely excellent two talented twists on loosely the same genre can be. More on that to come. Jackson Pearce is a lightning-fast genius, funny, slick, who puts very real teen characters in the midst of a
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.
