Description
Sy is a sheltered and timid seventeen-year-old queer Indian-Muslim boy who placed all his bets at happiness on his boyfriend Farouk...who then left him to try and "fix the world." Sy was too chicken to take the plunge and travel with him. Stuck in a dead-end coffee shop job with a Quran-wielding father who’s all too liberal with the belt, all Sy can do is wish for another chance... He never expects his wish to be granted. When a hot-mess-of-an-heiress slams into (and slides down, streaks of make-up in her wake) the front window of the coffee shop, Sy just shrugs it off and helps her up and on her way. But the girl offers him three wishes in exchange for helping her, and after proving she can grant at least one wish with a funds transfer of a million dollars into Sy's pitifully struggling bank account, a whole new world of possibility opens up. Does Sy have the courage to make his way from L. A. through London, Istanbul, and Marrakesh, led by his potentially otherworldly new friend, to track down his missing Farouk for one last, desperate chance at rebuilding his life and re-finding love?
