"I am intrigued by genies and wishes and how everything always goes wrong no matter how pure hearted the wish. It was great to see Maxine in a more central roll. But for the majority of the book Gilly did not have most of her supporting cast and while I was entertained, it made this book weaker than the others in the series. "

"**4.5 Stars**<br/><br/>**Book Review: *Wished* by Sarah Ready**<br/><br/>First I’d like to thank NetGalley, Sarah Ready, and WW Crown for an ARC copy of this book.<br/><br/>"Wished" by Sarah Ready is a delightful spin on the classic "wish come true" trope. The story follows Anna, who has her deepest wish granted—to be in love and married to her boss. But unlike many stories in this genre, the journey isn’t paved with insta-love or immediate romantic bliss. Instead, it’s a slow burn that feels more authentic and grounded, which sets it apart from other wish-fulfillment tales.<br/><br/>As a fan of 80s movies like *Teen Witch*, I was instantly won over by the premise of this book. The magical elements combined with the romance made it a fun and nostalgic read. Although I haven't read any of the other books in the *Ghosted* series, *Wished* stands well on its own and has definitely piqued my interest in the rest of the series.<br/><br/>Overall, *Wished* is a solid 4 to 4.5 star read for me. It’s charming, engaging, and offers a fresh take on a familiar theme. If you enjoy a bit of magic in your romance novels, this book is definitely worth picking up."
