The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury
3.0
3.5
When I started this I kept thinking this is it - it's been a while now, but this is going to be 5 stars. I was so happy. I really needed a good book, the one you start and can't stop until you're done with it because it's just too good.
And The Forbidden Wish was all of the above. I loved Aladdin, my sassy Arabian son. I was rooting for Zahra, I was shipping so hard, but above all I was having so much fun.
And then Aladdin fell in love. And apparently when you fall in love you lose your personality and turn into a gushing ball of "And IIIIII will always looooove youuuu".
Don't get me wrong, I love me some forbidden romance as much as the next guy, but... No. With how this book started I was hoping it'd be more subtle about the romance, and therefore will bring so much pain with how impossible this is to happen. But alas, of which turns out I am not the biggest fan.
So overall, a very enjoyable read. Sincerely, I was having so much fun. But I can't give the forth star, I'm deeply sorry, Zahra.
