As You Wish by Jude Deveraux
2.0
1.5 (Rounded up to two because there is nothing really objectionable about it, it's just dull).
If you like chick-lit or chick-flicks in which a group of women with different personalities and situations meet, become instant BFF's, and tell each other their life stories while drinking wine and eating pizza and ice cream, you may enjoy "As You Wish." If you like cliches such as women getting rescued by a man on horseback, woman finding love with their "exotic" (aka, not Caucasian) gardeners, or multiple instances of men pouring water over their half-naked bodies, you also may enjoy "As You Wish." If you enjoy having pop culture references to Frozen, How to Train Your Dragon, Harry Potter, and Game of Thrones sprinkled in your literature, you too may enjoy "As You Wish."
If those things sound unappealing to you, then "As You Wish" is not for you. I, unfortunitly, fall into the "not for me" category. "As You Wish" was the first book I've picked up by Deveraux, and I'm not likely to pick up another. Except for the bit with Alejandro and his family, there wasn't anything really objectionable about "As You Wish," but it is still predicable and, even worse, boring.
