i was so annoyed at how often the author talked about Lucy’s height. i get it. she’s soooo tiny. and she’s so quirky cause she grew up on a strawberry farm and has a smurf collection. i found lucy super annoying and i don’t believe their romance at all however i did like josh. didn’t like the ending though

Lucy was incredibly annoying about almost everything, and Josh was hot and dominant right up until he was just a good old-fashioned flavor of toxic. I can see why neither of them have friends.
Two stars for the hot sexual tension leading up to theeee most disappointing sex scene.

I’m disappointed. It started off great and then by the end I couldn’t wait for it to be over. Way too cliche for me. Like almost nauseatingly so, and I LOVE romance novels. It was cute. Worth reading but not something I’d read again.
I definitely enjoyed reading it and I think they are super cute but I could not give it 5 stars because they are so incredibly obsessed with her being small. Like ok I get it she is so petit and small. Like why do they compare her to a child several times. I thought that was weird so I could not give it 5 stars but the rest was good.

Really cute story if you’re a hopeless romantic. Once everything started to unravel, it got to be predictable.
