This book is for the “Pride and Prejudice” girlies, the ones who’ve watched the 2005 movie starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen over and over through the years. This book is for the people-pleasing girlies with dysfunctional families and overbearing mothers. This book is for the helpless romantics. This book literally altered my brain chemistry.
“Every Wish Way” follows Iza, an architect that isn’t quite happy with how her life is turning out, as she summons a wish-granting genie of sorts? I mean, not really. He’s just Beckett, a man who wished for unlimited wishes and ended up cursed to be the genie on other people’s stories—as soon as they get their 3 wishes, he’s off to a new vessel for however much time it takes to be summoned again, let that be months or years. Iza wishes nothing more than her happily ever after with the only man her mom has ever admired: Mr. Darcy, from “Pride and Prejudice”. But Mr. Darcy isn’t the Mr. Perfect she had envisioned now, is he? What if she’s gotten Mr. Right wrong all along?
It had been months since I had read banter as witty as Beckett’s and Iza’s. This book made me cry, this book made me laugh. I legit can’t comprehend how this is Shannon Bright’s debut novel. I cannot recommend this book enough. For real.
