Waiting on Wednesday (5)

Waiting on Wednesday was started by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

As You Wish by Jackson Pearce
Publisher: Harper Teen
Release Date: August 25, 2009
Pages: 304

Synopsis
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 genie out of his world and into her own. He will remain until she makes three wishes.

But Viola is terrified of wishing, afraid she won't wish for the right thing, the thing that will make her truly happy. As the two spend time together, Jinn can’t deny that he’s slowly 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 makes her final two wishes, he will disappear from her life—and her world—forever.

This book has received some great ratings and I'm really looking forward to reading it. It sounds so original.

    Sounds like a great WoW pick! I don't think I've seen a genie story in a long long time.

    This one sounds really cute. I wonder why they changed the cover though. I really liked the other one a lot.

    This one looks really good! I like the idea of a genie as the male character. I'll have to find a copy of this when it comes out in August. Thanks for sharing this!
