** spoiler alert ** 
 I was really truly interested in this story. I like Aladdin very much, so I thought it was funny to put a genie in the life of a teenage girl and it could be cute to make him fall for her. But although the story is indeed cute and I'm half in love with Jinn, the characters are quite flat without any depth that could have helped to make them interesting for the reader. They're just typical, even the main characters. 
 The story is quite lame. It doesn't have intrigue or it has very, very little and it based from start to end only in Viola's wish of belonging and the development of Jinn's feelings for her (and hers for him, too, of course). The final chapters after the third wish is granted are a little bit I-don't-know-how-to-bring-these-two-back-together-and-I-came-with-this-idea. But although this idea is nice and pretty and brings you to a happy ending, it doesn't make any sense and doesn't help to imagine their future together, if they have any beyond the eighteen-month punishment. Or does it make sense and I missed it? I liked though the descriptions of the smells and of the paintings, but it was quite repetitive and tedious sometimes. 
 The only thing I think the book is worth reading is Jinn. It is a fantastic character, lovable and charming; it's quite good described (although I cannot picture him) and I liked very much the narration when he's all confused and disoriented about what is happening to him and how he's feeling. 
 "how important it is to be careful what you wish for" -> I didn't find this lecture anywhere in the book. Viola only wishes once for herself and just because she was drunk... Where is the lecture here? fO.o 
 The truth is: this book would make a nice and interesting teen movie *___* 
 3 stars (4 only for Jinn) because of the lame storyline
