This book is what I want from a YA book. It’s cute, fluffy, and actually has substance. And did I mention it features genies…and I’m in desperate need of a good YA genie book but never seem to get my wish. Until this book. In the words of Katy Schwartz, sweet baby Jesus. This book...
The Art of Wishing is a sparkling and original story that is just completely enjoyable. Practically from page 1, I was hooked. I was in the mood for something light and compelling, and this book certainly delivered. It's a refreshing take on the paranormal genre with heavy influences from the contem...
You don’t seem to run across many YA books with genies in them, and that’s just a shame. Also a shame: I just didn’t like this book as much as I was hoping. Things started off well. I appreciated the fact that Margo wanted to be the lead in the school musical. Why was this such a big deal for me? ...
Did I even tell you guys how awesome this book truly is? No? My bad. This is a perfectly molded pot of colorful cookies you are not likely to find at the end of a rainbow. Makes me want to grow a fu manchu or handlebar mustache so I can twirl it. I don't know what else to say. It's different, it's u...

The Art of Wishing was one of them and what I read didn't impress me. Then the glowing reviews from my...
The Art of Wishing really is just my type of book. I didn't want to love it as much as I did. I wanted to be the stone cold reviewer who could pick out the mistakes even while adoring it. Turns out I'm not that girl. Each time I caught what I thought were major problems it turned out to be absolutel...
My first thought upon finishing this book was "aww," because this really is a cute read. It was basically everything I was expecting it to be, which was a fun, fluffy way to spend an afternoon (although it took me longer than an afternoon to read, blast you, work!). However, this book was also surpr...
What immediately came to mind as I was reading this was The Catastrophic History of You and Me. Don’t ask me why, but that’s was the first read’s like impression that I had. Like the latter, this was funny without trying too hard. And it never lost that funny feel either. Now, from the get, we’ve a ...
