If you came into possession of a genie shortly before your 10 year high school reunion, what would you wish for? The return of your high school true love perhaps? I got about halfway through, but I didn't finish this. I've certainly finished worse before, but I just didn't want to put forth the effort when this didn't have pretty prose to make up for the characters' deficits. I think I would have liked it more if the genie had turned out to be the love interest. I found Big Mike (yes, Big Mike; I read classy books!) to be quite the sleazy hero, always ready with a convenient excuse just plausible enough to keep him from the depths of slime.
It's all well and good to bring two people back together after a few years and have them bond; I've had some pretty fun experiences with that myself. The idea itself holds some merit. It's quite another thing to have a terribly successful and wealthy male lead but leave the female a miserable, pining spinster who has failed to follow any of her dreams and is still yearning after the one that got away even though she caught him with another woman ten years earlier. Have some dignity and ambitions of your own, woman!
