Wish Wrecked

De: Sara George

Narrado por: Ariel Barber

Three wishes = three chances to screw up.

For twenty-five years Dot’s life has been an uphill battle where every win has only led to a series of losses, so when she accidentally becomes the master of a real genie in a bottle, the prospect of making the three biggest decisions of her life in quick succession feels more like a death sentence than a jackpot.

Raji has had one tedious job for thousands of years: granting the same boring wishes for an endless string of greedy, self-satisfying masters. But when he finds himself in the twenty-first century with a client whose anxiety leads her to seek his advice, he’s suddenly allowed something he’s only ever dreamed about: a piece of the action.

When Dot’s reluctance to leave her comfort zone and Raji’s reluctance to overstep his boundaries get the wishes off to a rocky start, the two realize that working together may be the key to success. And when they discover that a mysterious stranger is in pursuit of the genie, they will have to forsake the roles of master and servant entirely to grant a final wish that could change both their lives forever.

Wish Wrecked is a clean, fast-paced, contemporary fantasy/romance.

Wishing for the perfect audiobook? Wish granted.

This no-spice contemporary fantasy romance is hilarious, swoony, and fun. AND addictive. Once you start listening, you won’t want to stop.

Dot is a unique FMC. At first, I couldn’t figure out why she acted the way she did… but as the story progressed and more pieces of the puzzle were revealed, it all made sense. And her character growth was spectacular. 👏

Raji was the BEST! His backstory was completely different than I expected and I loved getting to know him as a character. He was funny, charming, and sweet. 🧞

The plot. Wow. I’m still picking my jaw up off the ground. The action, the adventure, the MANY plot twists that I totally did not see coming. It was absolutely thrilling! So original and creative. 🏆

Seriously, this book deserves more than 5 stars. And the narrator did a fantastic job with the voices!!! The narration was perfect! 🤩

A Unique and Fun Read

🕮This is Sara’s debut book, she did a fantastic job with the storytelling. I was drawn in right away and both wanted to get to the end to know how it ended and wasn’t ready for it to end.
I absolutely loved the journey Dot and Raji go on. Dot tries so hard to be careful with her wishes, even getting Raji’s thoughts on some good wishes and what are some bad wishes.
And they go horseback riding!!! I love horses but have only been able to ride once. Hopefully going again next year though.

🎙️The Narration by Ariel Barber was well done her voice was engaging and her ability to make the story come alive made the listening very much enjoyable.

So cute!

The narrator was great and really brought the character to life! The story was cozy and sweet.

Super fun romcom plus adventure!

This was such a fun read. It was laugh out loud, funny and kept me on the edge of my seat with action and adventure. I love dot and Raji and the friends they met along the way. I started reading the paper back and about halfway through switched to the audio book. To be honest, I was nervous. The narrator wouldn't be great, I've dnf. Ed a few books due to poor narration. Ariel barber was great, though she was able to do both male and female voices that felt genuine.

I can't wait to read another Sara George book!

Glorious 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

For a debut novel, the writing is remarkably confident. I was obsessed with the characters. I thought they were extremely relatable and I’ve caught myself thinking about them even after finishing the novel. I thoroughly enjoyed the the combination of tenderness and tension which was balanced beautifully. This is the kind of story that leaves you smiling, but also eager to see what the author will write next! I’m definitely staying tuned in.

Absolutely magical and Hilarious Modern Genie Story!

You guys this book! I was not sure what I was expecting when I picked it up I like to go into my books blind which I guess if you're reading this you don't, but oh my goodness! I loved this book! It was HILARIOUS! I could not get enough of it! I don't know that I have laughed so much at a book before! It was not only funny but had an amazing story, with amazing characters who truly grew throughout the book! These are characters that I came to love and care about and felt so real to me!

So lets get into taking about these wonderful characters.

Dot, just a modern girl, coming of a break up and what feels like a string of years if not a lifetime of bad luck. Dot is semi reclusive just trying to survive as best she can hoping to just make it through what life has thrown at her. After she has started to pick up some of the pieces of her life (thanks to her semi scare but semi maybe nice landlady),the luck of getting a new job and old lady shoving a bottle at her from a yard sale she's starting to wonder what in the world has happened to give her suddenly good luck

"She scoffed at the thought. It was silly to think the contents of an old bottle would be anything more than disappointing. Too many good things had been happening lately, and it clouded her judgment. Still… she’d try another way to get it open. What did she have to lose? Besides a poltergeist-free house, which, realistically, might help with her loneliness."

Well she does figure out how to open said bottle and boy does she get more then she bargained for

“Can I text 911 or do I have to actually talk to someone?” she cried urgently to no one in particular." (just to give you a little insight into what a recluse our girl Dot is 🤣, but hey maybe this would be a helpful idea for some people)

In enters Raji, who has been on a very long spurt of being stuck in the bottle. He is very skeptical of his new master and has resigned himself to a life of granting wishes for others and never having any freedom or will of his own.

So mix our semi social awkward, very not confident Dot, with a non-trusting, very new to this century and learning all about it Raji and let the hilarity begin!

As these two learn to trust one another and work out Dot's wishes to the best of her advantage so that Raji may fulfill his duty while Dot seeks to keep this good luck change and navigate the fact that she is now the master of an actual real life genie there is many adventures and miss adventures to come.

Dot and Raji feel like such real character and have such great depth to that. Not only do they feel so real and relatable every character you meet in this book feels so real. I love Skye one of Dot's co-workers who had me cackling!

Seriously I don't know that I can do this book justice in a review. I highly recommend it. If you want a book set in modern day with all the magic, hilarity, adventure, deep character growth and connection to where the character feel like good friends this book is for you! Also the ending of this book is just so good! Again words do not do it justice what are you still doing here reading this review go read the dang book already and then message me so we can chat about it!

Thanks so much to Sara for letting me have an ARC copy of your wonderful book! All opinions shared are my own! 😊

*Update on second reading*

I love this book it’s so great even on the second time! The narrator of the audio book does an excellent job and makes the book so so enjoyable!
