The Epic Crush of Genie Lo

Yee, F. C.


The struggle to get into a top-tier college consumes sixteen-year-old Genie's every waking thought.

Enter Quentin, a transfer student from China whose tone-deaf assertiveness beguiles Genie to the brink of madness.

This epic YA debut draws from Chinese folklore, features a larger-than-life heroine, and perfectly balances the realities of Genie's grounded high school life with the absurd supernatural world she finds herself commanding.
