Raised by a mother whose ironclad motto is “men are trash,” Iza longs to prove her wrong, ideally with a kind, steady boyfriend who will free her from the exhausting treadmill that is dating. Although she’s willing to try (almost) anything to find love, accidentally summoning a wish-granting stranger out of thin air was never part of the plan.
Unfortunately, Beckett, her personal wish-granter, isn’t exactly the sage and generous being she would expect. Instead, he loves to party, has attitude to spare, and boasts an uncanny ability to point out Iza’s worst flaws. Iza decides to use one of her three wishes to create her dream man—a modern Mr. Darcy. If that esteemed gentleman can’t impress her overbearing mother, no one can. Using Pride and Prejudice as the handbook to Darcy’s heart, Iza plays the part of Elizabeth Bennet and sets out to create her epic love story.
Making wishes and winning Darcy over becomes more complicated than Iza expects, especially with Beckett’s adorably dimpled grin and unexpected kindness in the equation. Soon enough, she’s glimpsing the truth of the man behind the flippant persona, and each moment in his company makes her question everything she thought she wanted from love.

"If Jane Austen were alive today, writing romance novels about career women, she wouldn't make them sacrifice anything for their relationships. It must be possible to have independence, an occupation, and love."
Do you love Erin Sterling and Kate Johnson?
Do you love silly, sweet and a little steamy romance?
Do you ever wonder if your classic romance novels are really that romantic?
Do you want to read something easy and fun but thoroughly entertaining?
Well, your wish is granted.
Every wish way is a magical love story that is absolutely chaotic, full of silly mishaps, bad choices, cringe-inducing mistakes and so much light-hearted fun. Our main character was a delight; she had dreams of a whirlwind romance, of her own Mr Darcy to experience a kind of epic love but didn’t ever expect how she’d find it. I could’ve done with a little more magical mayhem, the fantasy elements are a little loose but still a great way to give a twist to a classic romcom.
This was comforting and cosy, with familiar tropes, lovable characters and a satisfyingly warm happy ever after. I adored Iza even when she infuriated me - she had her insecurities and problems, she was a little lost and confused in such a relatable way. I loved how refreshingly honest she was about how she had no clue what she was doing most of the time juggling a busy career, an asthmatic cat and just generally trying to survive as an adult. But most of all how much love she had to give and wanted to give — if only she could find someone worth giving it to who didn’t expect her to choose between love and independence.
A spellbinding debut, definitely worth putting on your wish list.
