It’s the release day for the highly anticipated The Epic Crush of Genie Lo by F.C. Yee. We’ve been talking about it to pretty much everyone we’ve met these past few months—and it appears we aren’t the only ones super excited that August 8 is finally here. In case the amazing premise hasn’t won you over yet, here’s what people around the web are saying about why they heart Genie Lo.
11. A personal note: I made a new shelf on GR bc it was just THAT good. This shelf is called ‘forever in my heart’ because it will be. So 😇.

Genie Lo is honestly one of the funniest protagonists. I would’ve enjoyed the book for her alone even if I hadn’t liked the plot (but I did)
