Every Wish Way by Shannon Bright was a fun and delightful read. The novel is loosely based on Aladdin and Pride and Prejudice, with its own spin. Spending the past few days with these characters felt watching an early 2000’s rom-com. You know, the ones that starred Kate Hudson or JLo, began by happenstance, and featured hilarious challenges that we all wished we had the pleasure of facing.

Iza (never Eliza) is a successful architect that has everything going right for her, except her love life. Her mother had told her that being in a relationship is not worth one’s time. Men will always either hold you back, break your trust, or overshadow you. Iza wants to be in love, and even stronger than her desire for love is her desire to prove her mother wrong.

Beckett, the magical genie, is our Matthew McConaughey character. His goal is to help Iza, and grant her three wishes. Iza takes her wishes very seriously and wants to make sure they are perfectly done and well thought out before use. She finally decides to wish up her dream man, Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy. Certainly, Iza's mother would approve of Mr. Darcy and a relationship, she just has to convince him to fall in love with her first.

I loved all the supporting characters in this story. Lola is the best friend a girl could ask for, and is beside Iza every step of the way. The office “feud” with Kalyan is adorable and adds to the nostalgic (2000’s comedy) feel. Iza’s mother is unbearable, but written well and crucial to the plot.
