Books like As You Wish by Jackson Pearce
Viola has been nursing a broken heart for months, silently hoping for love and belonging. One day, her wish comes true in an unexpected way when she summons Jinn, a young genie who must return home after he fulfills three wishes. Jinn is eager to leave, but Viola, cautious and unsure of what to wish for, keeps him in her life. As they spend time together, the traditional master‑servant dynamic blurs, and emotions develop on both sides. Viola realizes that she has fallen for Jinn, and that his presence might end if she makes the remaining wishes. Jackson Pearce explores the complexities of self‑esteem, popularity, and identity through a magical, teen‑centered narrative that blends romance and the supernatural.
