With that being said, I do agree with you about some of the supporting cast deserving more spotlight. I was especially bummed when Genie's best friend was basically forgotten for a while there. <br />Great reviews. :)<br /><br />Veronika @ <a href="http://reading-is-dreaming-with-open-eyes.blogspot.hu/" rel="nofollow">The Regal Critiques</a><br />Veronika @ Wordy and Whimsicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06813427718618609226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-59605155338951775602018-05-22T12:30:55.817-04:002018-05-22T12:30:55.817-04:00I hope you give Genie Lo a try. it was a lot of fu...I hope you give Genie Lo a try. it was a lot of fun.
