In a nutshell:
Viola feels invisible and just wishes to belong, but she’s
hesitant to vocalize what she wants when a rushed jinn appears to grant her 3
wishes. Together, they learn what it means to belong and to be happy with who
you are.
What you may enjoy:
Viola’s character sits well with teens. She vocalizes what
many of them feel. While an effortless read, it carries subtle messages about
self-respect and identity. The story is captivating and unique.
What you may NOT
enjoy:
The story is predictable and cliché. It has your standard
expected teen book characters and endings. While it does contain deeper
lessons, the ending kind of cancels out the moral of the story.

Sex and Nudity:
Boy and girl kiss passionately; Mentioned that a girl took
off her shirt; Boy kisses girl; Boy and girl kiss (many different times, but
never graphic)
