My review:Let me start with saying, that the idea of the book was quite good. I like settings with Djinns and it's not very often I have read books about them.2:32 AM by Emily Ford is a young adult novel about 17 year old Cat who wakes up at 2:32 AM and after that her life changes. She has interesting life, she has seen the world, has awesome friends and family. She gets a choice, one choice is her life as she knows it and another is more complex and fascinating. She is introduced to the life of genies and magic, which she has hard time believing. The closer her time gets, the weirder her everyday life gets.The characters were well-created. I liked Cat a lot. She was lovable, she has a strong will and she was honest towards herself. Her boyfriend was quite typical teenager who was more than ready to have sexual relationship with Cat, but Cat did not give in. I also enjoyed Cat's friends and they were believable and acted mostly like teenagers do, so I think the author did a good job with describing teens. There was one characters which I did not know what to think of and that was Cat's soul mate to be Rolf. I enjoyed Rolf, but he gave me feeling, that there is lot about him what meets the the eye and I hope we will know more about him in the sequel.2:32 AM is a fun book to read if you would like to see an alternative look into the world of genies! I would recommend it and it is suitable for young adult readers and of course also to people older than teens!
