Things dont start well for aspiring New York theater actress Erin Hollister, the heroine of the third and final installment of Mindy Klaskys fantastical chick lit series As You Wish, who in the course of one calamitous day loses her boyfriend, her job, and her apartment. Hope arrives in the form of Teel, the cunning and shape-shifting magic genie who offers to grant her four wishes and takes her on a wild and unpredictable journey toward Broadway stardom and finding true love.

Cute mind candy
The main character in this story, Erin, is a young aspiring actress who has just discovered that her longtime boyfriend is a cad. She finds herself single, jobless, and homeless all at the same time.
And then she is given the tarnished lamp containing...a genie! And she has 4 wishes to make! Not 3, like the fairy tales tell, but 4! It's a veritable flood of wishes!
How she uses these wishes is the core of this story, and it's a great fun read. Teel, the genie, is laugh-out-loud hilarious. And Erin herself, a sweet girl with lousy taste in men, decides to 'swear off' romance just before meeting Timothy, who is attractive PLUS.
I needed a good laugh when I picked up this book, and I got it. It's a silly, fun read.
An engaging read
This book adds a bit more complexity that the rest of the series. I like the whole premise of these books although her other magic series, I think, is a better read.
amusing yet poignant romantic urban fantasy
Wannabe actress Erin Hollister affirms her belief that bad things come in three. First she was rejected for a part in a Mamet play as she was the wrong body type. Second her time at the Equity Audition Center made her late for her survival job at Concerned Caters and she performs poorly so is fired. Finally she thinks she is pregnant, but when she tells her significant other, he accuses her of irresponsibility before dumping her.
Her friend Becca (see When Good Wishes Go Bad) and her significant other Ryan are going to Africa for a year so she asks Erin to stay in her condo at not cost while she is overseas. Inside the condo, Erin finds a crate with her name on it that she assumes Becca left her. She opens the crate to find an old tarnished brass lantern. When she cleans it with a rag, a man appears in a police uniform out of nowhere. He says his name is Teel and he gives her the standard genie contract in which he fulfills her wishes in exchange for free time outside the lamp, but she must choose rather quickly before the offer expires.
This is an amusing yet poignant romantic urban fantasy as Erin struggles with what to wish for as she learns what matters in life.
