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.

This good teen young adult novel. I Loved that the story was told in Jinn and Viola point of views. It seemed like a normal relationship that started out as friendship, and not instant attraction.
Didn't like the cover picture. That was the only flaw. The story flowed. It me thinking about what I would wish for if I suddenly found a genie. The parents were a presence there , but not a big one. They were trying to connect with their daughter.
Viola was a strong female who didn't know want to be invisible, and as a teenager I did feel like that and wanted to be part of the in crowd. Viola is an artist and likes to express herself that way.
I liked this book so much that I now have her other books on my goodreads.com list to read. I liked her best friend and I laughed and liked all the twists and turns in the story.
Would I let my daughter read this book ? Yes I would
Give this 4 out 5 stars
This sounds like a fun, easy read. It sounds as it should be very good for the younger ones to read as well. I really like this review and it makes the book sound really good too, like you really enjoyed it. This sounds like a new spin with genies and owners, kind of like the show I Love Genie.
