About this listen
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 the hardest question of all. Could it be that their friendship was the real magic all along?

"Get ready to be transported to Korea—Leesa Cross-Smith has brewed a tale as comforting as barley tea steeped in romance, adventure, and a sprinkle of magic. A heartwarming testimony to the power of love, family, and second chances, As You Wish is the perfect feel-good story, as well as a beautiful reminder to believe in our dreams and treasure our friendships."―Lori Nelson Spielman, New York Times bestselling author of The Star-Crossed Sisters of Tuscany
"Even if Cross-Smith had never imagined a legendary waterfall rumored to grant wishes, there would be magic dripping from every page of As You Wish. This novel will transport you to Seoul, dip you in the bright, healing waters of Korean culture, embrace you with the warmth of found family and friendship, then leave you longing for your own daring adventure."―Christy Schillig, author of Wish You Weren't Here
"As You Wish is a charming coming-of-age novel about all the ways to fall in love―with a romantic partner, with friends, with a city, and ultimately, with oneself. Leesa Cross-Smith delivers three remarkably distinct voices in Lydia, Jenny, and Selene, and I couldn’t help but root for all of them. With a supportive found family, a whole heap of delectable Korean food, and a hint of magic, As You Wish is an absolute must-read."―Melissa Wiesner, author of The Second Chance Year
