They say be careful what you wish for… For Lydia, Jenny, and Selene, au pairing in Seoul is the opportunity of a lifetime. Lydia wants nothing more than to transform into a leading lady; Jenny is determined to swear off love for good 5,955 miles away from her ex; and Selene is convinced working in Korea will finally lead her to her biological mother. During a combined family vacation with their host families, the women visit an enchanted waterfall on Jeju Island and make a wish under a full moon. Overnight, everything changes. Suddenly, Lydia is the girl everyone wants—except, strangely, her mysterious art class partner from Spain. Jenny is having secret, no-strings-attached fun with her host mom’s irresistible younger brother. And Selene is finally getting somewhere in her search for her mother thanks to a research-savvy photographer. But when Jenny’s romantic feelings begin to deepen, she realizes her wish is standing in the way of true, lasting love. Her decision to return to the waterfall will have unexpected consequences and force the au pairs to confront a new question altogether: Could it be that their friendship was the real magic all along?

Thank you to NetGalley and publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this story.
As You Wish was a slice of life about three au pairs finding themselves, love and magic in Seoul. It was absolutely giving the K-Drama the author meant to give down to the ending.
I love how the story has a magic feel to it even though we really don’t know if that waterfall had any real effect on our girls. The reader can believe whether it is or not but I’m leaning towards not. The story and its characters had a natural growth and feel as the reader goes on with the story. I love a found family and it seemed they found each other with a little help from fate.
