I love Sarah Ready.

'Wished' is the fourth in a series of magical realism romcoms. I adored it. This has all the feelings of a late 90's blockbuster romance. Very swoony, a little silly, feel-good. I sat down and couldn't stop, ended up reading all in one go, just purely enjoyable

As with the other books in this series there's minimal crossover with the previous characters- so no catch up on any preexisting plot lines. The 'magic' in the magical realism is super simple. little flukes that throw off the world of the characters.

This was a Dnf for me and I’ll tell you why. It got so weird so fast. It started off with action right off the bat but but he was angry and then he was horny and it was just way too confusing. Maybe print copy would make more sense but audio sure didn’t

This magical romance was really good! And just what I needed to brighten my day!

Anne became a housekeeper for Max and basically falls in love at first sight. But how does she get Max to notice her? Read and find out!

"Wished" by Sarah Ready is a whimsical and romantic novel that explores the age-old question: what happens when your dreams come true, but not quite how you expected? The story follows Anna Benoit, a house cleaner who’s hopelessly in love with Max Barone, the wealthy and enigmatic owner of the chateau she cleans. Max doesn’t even know Anna exists, but that doesn’t stop her from making a wish to be his wife.
To her surprise, Anna wakes up in a world where her wish has come true—she’s married to Max, and they’ve been living in blissful matrimony for years. But as Anna navigates this dream-come-true life, she begins to question whether the reality of her wish is everything she imagined it would be.
"Wished" is a delightful, feel-good romance that examines the complexities of love, desire, and the unexpected consequences of getting exactly what you wish for. It reminds readers to be careful what they wish for, as the reality might not match the fantasy!
Narration: I like both voices, they really did a good job portraying both characters.

Ok, yes, I could probably criticize some aspects of this, but honestly, this was just such a fun time.

I'm really enjoying this series by Sarah Ready. Each book has a different, creative magical realism-esque story, and as long as you're not someone who needs to know the why behind the magic, you can just be swept away by the fun story and charming characters. Wished involves parallel universes, and I'm here for it.

This continues Max's story from Fated, but while Fated was a more contemplative, introspective story, this one was pure entertainment. I breezed through the entire book (as an audiobook no less) in less than a day.

I do think this story's main weakness concerns Max's agency in the whole "wish," and while the narrative does attempt to address it, the story probably could have benefitted from 1 or 2 more chapters from Max's POV at crucial points in the story.

Anna & Max both individually make a wish on a magical necklace and soon their lives are thrown upside down. I loved the hilarious dialogue and misadventures of this novel as it progressed. The rapid acceleration of their relationship was a tad unbelievable to me but it's a novel so we are ignoring that. I loved learning about Anna & Max's lives and what had shaped them into the people they are today.

I definitely recommend you add this to your TBR list.

This was the BEST book to listen to while cleaning, and doing laundry. It had all the feel good feels and was just a darling love story.
