Man, this book had quite the hill to climb in my eyes. Jules and Josh are two of the most annoying characters I've ever read, so I'm thankful they stopped bickering relatively early in the story. Speaking of early on, Jules insults the size of Josh's genitals several times. A little odd already, but given that Josh is an Asian man, the comment becomes... racist? Bigoted? Whatever the proper term, it made me uncomfortable. All in all, I read this because I'm a completionist.

Why is this book so long? I feel like we could have wrapped this up sooner.
