Disclaimer: I received a free copy of the book for my Kindle in exchange for my honest review.I was really excited about the idea of this book. An exhausted Genie picks an average girl to take over for him so he can finally die. Unfortunately the book was a disappointment. I realize early releases of books will have typos. This book however was full of every mistake possible: spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. It was also way too long. There were choppy transitions within paragraphs and the writing style was sophomoric. Every few pages "something bad was going to happen" but nothing ever did. I finished it but it was painful and even though the ending is designed to leave the reader anxiously awaiting the sequel, I will not be reading it. It's sad because I think there was potential; the book just needed a really good editor to clean up the errors and help the author tighten up her style.
