What Lacey needs is a miracle. What she gets is a genie with rules.
Lacey Linden is hiding the truth of her life—a depressed mom, a crumbling house, and bills too big to pay. While her high school classmates see a girl with a ready smile and good grades, Lacey spends her evenings seeking ways to save her family. On a get-cash-quick trip to the flea market, Lacey stumbles over a music box that seemingly begs her to take it home. She does, only to find it is inhabited by a gorgeous "genie." He offers her a month of wishes, one per day, but there's a catch. Each wish must behumanly possible.
Grant belongs to a league of supernatural beings, dedicated to serving humans in need. After two years of fulfilling the boring wishes of conventional teens, he is one assignment away from promotion to a challenging new role with more daring cases. Yet his month with Lacey is everything that he expects and nothing like he imagines. Lacey and Grant soon discover that the most difficult task of all might be saying goodbye.

My Thoughts:
I read this book in less than 24 hours! That is how awesome it is. Lacey has experienced more grief in her short life than most adults do the entirety of theirs. She is over whelmed with responsibilities no teenager should have to face. The two things that hurt Lacey most are her stubbornness and her fear. She's to prideful to admit when she needs help and too stubborn to take it when it's offered. Enter Grant. At first you think he's the answer to all of Lacey's problems. But soon it turns out that while he can do as many handyman jobs as she wishes, it's what they both learn from each other that's the true gift. You can't put a value on learning to open you heart to love. The ending was a bit unexpected and I can't wait to read the next one. I think there's more to Lacey's story & I hope we get to see what happens. I'd like to know where she ends up going to college and if her mom ever makes the progress she needs to. I'm also dying to know what will become of Grant and his aspiring career goals.
Recommended for readers 13 & up.
I received this book from the author via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
