What she needs is a miracle. What she gets is a genie with rules.

Lacey Linden has gotten good at hiding the truth of her life—a depressed mom, a crumbling house, and bills too big to pay. In school, she's a girl with a ready smile and good grades, but at night, Lacey spends her time dreaming up ways to save her family. On a get-cash-quick trip to the flea market, she stumbles over a music box that seemingly begs her to take it home. She does, only to find it is inhabited by a gorgeous "genie." He offers her a month of wishes, one per day, but there's a catch. Each wish must be humanly possible.

Grant belongs to a league of supernatural beings, dedicated to serving humans in need. After two years of fulfilling conventional wishes, he's one assignment away from promotion to a new job with more challenging cases. His month with Lacey is exactly what he expects and nothing like he imagines. Lacey and Grant soon discover that the hardest task of all might be saying goodbye.


"Langston wisely limits the power of wishes, so there can be no easy fixes to complex problems...putting the focus on the compelling and sympathetic characters." --School Library Journal

I Wish eBook Elizabeth Langston

How to rate this fairly? I rated this on the quality factor, not my enjoyment factor.
This book was written well in my opinion, I can’t complain about that.
It flowed a tad slowly, the characters were mostly likable & I could relate to the what’s going on with them in the story, & the story held my attention.

My problem, is this book was so very sad, it pulled on my heart-strings. I cried a lot! Too much! I don’t like to read such sad stories. I don’t mind a bit of sadness to a story if it works out to an HEA in the end. This story was sad all the way thru. The ending has a mild cliff hanger, enough to give a reader an ending point if they don’t want to continue, or a place to want to continue to see where the characters end up. I personally won’t continue with the series. It’s also not a book I would ever want to re-read. I read for escapism from life, I want up-lifting endings to make me feel good about what I read, not make me have swollen tear stained eyes & a runny red nose. I definitely don’t recommend this be read in a public place, so people won’t be looking at you strangely for crying over a book.

(To rate this on enjoyment factor would have been a 2 star)

I Wish eBook Elizabeth Langston Reviews


Lacey is struggling to keep her family afloat when she buys a music box with a genie in it. This is not your usual genie story, as the genie must abide by BSB rules while granting Lacey one wish per day for 30 days. What the most unusual about those rules is that each wish has to be humanly possible and done without the use of magic. This is actually a much more tender and insightful book than I was expecting. Lacey and the genie, Grant, are about to teach each other some life lessons in love, loyaty, friendship, and family. I was surprised at the complexity and depth of the story, considering the subject matter, and I'll definitely be reading the rest of the series. Highly recommended.
I love the "I wish" first book and can't wait to read the second and third. For me this is rare. I've been reading free books for years, it's extremely rare (maybe once a year) for me to actually be anticipating and NEEDING to read the next book in the series. This is such an unique storyline, again.. Rare. I'll be following Elizabeth Langston to look into other books written by her after I finish this series. I'm an extremely fast reader, I can read up to 3 books a day, thank goodness for free books!

If you're looking for a romance that's unique and quirky, look no further! It won't cost you a thing to read the first book. I guarantee a lot of y'all will be hooked like me..

Thank you Ms. Langston for bringing something fresh to us romance readers. I enjoy almost every book I read, but I couldn't set this one down. If you ever need another beta reader I'm in! Lol
Lacey and her family are in a tough situation after the death of her stepfather. She comes across an old music box at a flea market and takes it home. Inside there is an incredibly attractive guy with a British accent saying he's a genie. And she doesn't get just three wishes, she gets one a day for a month. This turned out to be a really sweet story about a girl learning to trust while helping her family to heal. I don't know if I'll continue with the series, but this was a good, quick read.
Now that my heart has been ripped from me, I shall try to find words that accurately describe this stunning story.

At first look, this may appear to be a sappy high school romance with some feel good scenes, and as much as I enjoy YA Romances, I’m so glad that this book was more than that. Lacey and Grant are certainly the main characters, but the story is centered around repairing the brokenness of Lacey’s family, not their impossible romance. And to me, that was so much better.

I admired how Lacey handled her complicated life. She is a character who is self-reliant and a “get-it-done” girl who always puts her brother and her mother first, even if that means she has to give up the rest of her childhood so her 8-year-old brother can have a good one. She denies herself so many things that other teen girls take for granted and she battles realistic fears. I genuinely grew to love her and her family alike.

Grant is easy to love. He is patient, understanding, and cares deeply for this family that is so broken. Despite the fact that he’s a genie and literally has a timer for how much longer he has with them, he opens himself up to them and goes above and beyond what is wished of him.

Also, my close experience with family and friends being in the military (my sister is in the Navy and my two best friends are Marines), made me immensely appreciative of the honor and respect given to our military in this book. There are several distinct scenes that have the sole purpose of honoring our fallen heroes.

I loved everything about this book really, but the last thing I’ll mention specifically is the fact that Lacey and her brother Henry loved their step-father just as much as their real dad. And I believe that is huge in today’s literature. So many books and movies portray step family members as symbols of hate, and that’s simply not fair. There are many step families that have problems, sure, but there are also many that are blessings. So seeing the good image given to a step-dad for once in a YA book, pleased me more than I would have thought it would.

I Wish definitely receives a full 5 out of 5 stars from me along with a warning that there is a decent amount of cursing and several kisses, but nothing more.

This is a Literature Approved Review.
I really liked this book's creative premise a genie who grants a wish for you everyday for a month, but they all have to be things that are humanly possible. I liked Lacey, the main character who was struggling to keep her family afloat after the death of her step-father and through her mother's subsequent depression. She did periodically drive me crazy with the lengths she felt she needed to go to hide her family's bad situation from the people around her though. I liked her friend Kimberley and think its a good idea what Langston plans for her character at the end. I never fully bought the romance between Grant and Lacey. It sort of seemed to come from nowhere and I wished we had learned more about Grant's orgins. Although that may just be covered in the next book.
