I loved this book!!!  Amber was hands down one of the best characters I have had the pleasure to meet in a while.  I suppose if you had grown up surrounded by the interesting array of people that Amber did, it would make for a pretty unflappable person.  So when Amber is house cleaning preparing for the arrival of her mother, she decides to shine all the metal in the house.  This in turn leads to reading an inscription that she uncovered on the side of a samovar and wouldn't you know it?  Out pops a genie.  Not just any genie.  A really sexy one named Jasper :)  Even though Amber is determined not to make a wish, she falls off the wagon and decides that the one she has come up with is quite harmless.  LOL...but the ramifications of it are anything but.  Amber's normal and boring life is getting ready to turn upside down!This book was so funny.  Amber has a very dry wit and amusing sarcasm that just just keeps you snickering through the entire book!  If you haven't noticed, she was by far my favorite character.  There were however quite an array of interesting characters in the book.  I definitely think Amber's mom was probably the one that was out there the most.  I can't imagine what it would have been like with her as a mother.  Never a dull moment but probably never a quiet one either!!Jasper is a little hard to figure out.  He was very evasive and hard to actually pin down.  You get the feeling that he really likes Amber, then you wonder if you were wrong, then you think that no you weren't.  He bends so many rules to please and help Amber out.  After the initial getting to know you stuff and the disastrous results if the first wish Amber swears not to wish again.  But things start going wrong and she stuffs her wish to the side to use for a just in case emergency.  The way things have been heading, its quite likely that she'll have to use it!This was a fantastic read!!  I was skeptical at first, but trust me this book will completely suck you in!!  I really really really hope there is going to be more to this book.  Maybe a sequel.  The one thing I wasn't fond of was the end.  LOL ..there was just too much left unanswered!!
