I received an ARC of Wished by Sarah Ready from NetGalley—thank you so much, and thank you to the author as well! This book wasn’t exactly my usual type, but I appreciated how light and cozy it was. It’s an easy, comforting read that’s perfect for when you want something fun and relaxing.

I just really couldn’t get into this one. It’s definitely a magical realism plot where a house cleaner fell in love at first sight with the wealthy owner of the house and later wishes he loved her back. Leaving the impracticality aside, there really wasn’t a reason for either character to love the other. They didn’t really have any chemistry and despite how long it was it felt so rushed. There’s an entire twist and subplot that could have been left out and probably left the book for the better. The narration, however, was great.

I received an audiobook from NetGalley and Swift & Lewis Publishing, LLC in exchange for my honest review.

I can't believe it's taken me this long to read the fourth and final installment in the Ghosted series! Sarah, if you're reading this, please accept my apologies 😭🙏🏻 (and this review 🫶🏻)

Firstly, can I just say wow?
I have read all of the books in this series and have enjoyed all of them, but Wished was definitely one of my favourite ones!

Secondly, although the start was a little slow, once the magic kicked in I was HOOKED. There was literally nothing stopping me from finding out Max and Anna's conclusion.

Max has never quite known what love feels like, nor does he want to try. He thinks he's in love with his best friend, Fiona - until she rejected his proposal after falling in love with another man.

Anna has been cleaning Max' estate for the past three years. She fell in love with him at first sight, but Max doesn't even know she's exists. When one night cleaning in the library, Anna stumbles across a priceless necklace and a note left out, which explains the magical properties it possesses. Anna decides to wish a wish upon it, knowing it would never come true.

Upon waking up the next day, Max and Anna are both transported to another dimension(?) where they have been blissfully married for seven years and happily in love. Except Max doesn't know who Anna, is besides the cleaner who tried to steal a priceless heirloom and which he caught red handed. Together they must work out what happened, to right things back to before Anna wished to be married to Max, and him in love with her.

Sarah definitely has a magical way of telling her stories and tugging them heartstrings. I loved how although Max and Anna are from two different worlds, they were simply inevitable. Max was just the perfect husband, who worshipped Anna like no other. I loved the scenes in Paris where although they were strangers, their chemistry and attraction was simply too hard to ignore. I couldn't help but cheer them on and could totally feel the love between them two!

The ending was just *chef's kiss* and I couldn't have adored it any more. Perfect ending to a perfect book 💗

A special thanks to the publishers (via Netgalley) for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a feel-good, magical rollercoaster, and I enjoyed every minute of it! I loved both the main characters from start to finish. I'm definitely gonna read the other books in this series!

A wholesome book that is light and cozy with lots of what if.

Sarah Ready’s Wished feels like a warm, comforting hug. As a seasoned reviewer who has seen trends come and go, I can confidently say that Ready has a rare gift for crafting a story that is both utterly charming and deeply resonant. Wished isn’t just another frothy rom-com; it’s a story about the messy, beautiful, and sometimes painful process of finding yourself, and the unexpected magic that can happen when you finally let your guard down.

A book with magic and a hint of fairytale??? Yess please!!

I've really enjoyed her books. I like that they're a bit of a mix of fantasy, love, magic. There's lots of things in them that kind of give you a new sense of reality and I think they're not completely without moving yourself too far out of the realms of possibility.

They are, I would say, sort of your light, whimsical kind of romance read with a little bit of a magic twist, which is probably one of my favourites.

A glorious read as always by Sarah Ready. This woman can write no wrong. I’m in awe about how she gets me so invested in these supernatural ish love stories! I was so pleased to read this as I was so intrigued by Max in Fated, and he’s such a complex character even more so in this!

Wished was a fun read with a heartfelt core. Anna’s journey was entertaining and thought-provoking, exploring the difference between fantasy and real love. The premise was creative, and there were some genuinely sweet moments as Anna tried to make sense of her new reality. A light, romantic read with just the right touch of magic.

Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to read this in exchange for an honest review.

A fun light hearted read with a little magic. New author to me, but definitely will be looking out for more to add to my never declining to be read pile. Enjoyed the story and its development. Dive in.

An enjoyable read, that is nicely written. I really liked the main characters and their chemistry was so good. A definite recommendation for the contemporary romance readers.

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I started reading this book. I didn't realize it was part of a series, so perhaps going back and reading those might help.

The description drew me in, and the characters of Anna and Max were interesting.

Yet, for me the entire wish element fell apart. I don't know what I was expecting after reading the book blurb, but this wasn't it. All in all, it was a good read, and I would recommend it, but it left me not as satisfied as I had hoped.

Thank you NetGalley and Swift & Lewis Publishing.

This book has very whimsical and magical realism vibes. We follow Anna Benoit who falls head over heels for her employer Max Barone. The problem is even after being his house cleaner for 3 years he doesn't know she exists. Until one day she stumbles upon a necklace and a note encouraging her to make a wish.

So she wishes to be his wife.... and wakes up the next day to find her wish has come true.

I actually loved the premise of this and think it had great potential but I felt it was a tad too insta love for me. I wanted Max to take a bit longer to develop actual feelings for Anna. It felt a little too rushed for me.

🌟🌟🌟🌟 Magical, Uplifting, and Full of Heart

Wished by Sarah Ready is an absolute joy to read! With its whimsical premise and heartwarming characters, this book swept me away in the best possible way. The mix of magical realism and romance is done beautifully—charming without ever feeling over the top.

The characters are endearing and memorable, and their emotional journeys feel both sincere and satisfying. I especially loved the way the story explored hope, love, and second chances, all wrapped in Sarah Ready’s signature wit and warmth. There’s a perfect blend of humor, emotion, and just a sprinkle of magic that makes this story feel special.

Highly recommend for anyone who loves romantic stories with a clever twist and a whole lot of heart!

Thank you NetGalley and Swift & Lewis Publishing LLC for my DRC!

Thanks to NetGalley for the copy! Wished is a light, whimsical romance with a magical twist, but it didn’t quite land for me. The characters felt a bit too tropey—grumpy billionaire and sunshine heroine—and the plot shifted so quickly it felt a bit dreamlike. It was a fun, easy read, but I’m not sure I’ll continue with the series.

4.5 stars! I liked this one a lot!! I’m so glad Max got his happy ending after the last book. I enjoyed the magical realism plot in this one with making wishes, and thought it was super cute. Thank you NetGalley, Sarah Ready, and Swift & Lewis Publishing LLC for the ARC.

I actually really enjoyed this. After not loving the first book in the series, this was a breath of fresh air. It was cute, fun, swoony and moved at a great pace. Definitely recommend.

I received an advance review copy for free from the publisher via Netgalley and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Loved loved loved it! Sarah Ready is just awesome as an author. Always Loving her books. You know what you get when reading one by her. Funny, cozy, heartwarming, romantic love story. Recommend!!!

It was my first read of Sarah Readys and I enjoyed it. The author was very creative in her writing and the story was cute and light-hearted.

I really enjoyed reading this. I found this entire series to be a fun play on "freaky friday"-esque themes to be so fun and on point. I think that the characters were fun to read about and I really enjoyed the development.

Loved the magical realism of this book. Would have liked a little more depth to the romance personally. This was my first book from this author. Would read more!
