 Sy and Farouk broke up when Farouk was off somewhere in the world while Sy is in America. Then he meets Reggie who offers him three wishes and it is his chance to get his love back.

This is a fast-paced book. Ubfortuebtly I think the pacing was too fast as it only allowed surface-level stuff of some very traumatic shit just to occur and then be moved on with like it was a change of the channel. We're talking abuse and riots. But I was able to lose myself in the book as it was interesting to see what next big thing would happen next. Reggie, a problem drinker, with connections everywhere, is our Jinn for this book takes on a mathyology approach having some chapters telling the story of the Jinn.

I can see where this book isn't for everyone where the traumatic situations are way too glossed over and believe me they are, but I was looking for a book to just have fun in. And while this book is more of going from event to event without any depth for this time point of my listening to it it was what I needed.
