This was a delightful short story and very original! I'll never look at genies the same way again, and I'll be paying closer attention to old teapots in thrift stores from now on. You just never know....

Recommended for anyone who wishes they had a little real magic in their lives.

If you could have 3 wishes, what would they be??
Be careful what you wish for...., they just might come true!!!!!
Needing an escape from this crazy world??
Then you need to read Oh, Snap!!, By Jessica L. Elliott.
What a fun, lighthearted book that had me laughing throughout the entire story.
What would you do if you accidentally acquired a Genie, especially one who isn’t your “normal genie?”
A total escape that will keep you laughing.

Sweet Romance

This was a quick, fun read! I was excited to find out how Laura and Leo met (I read How to Marry a Genie first, oops). So very sweet and I love that it teaches people to think before wishing.
