first of all, this book as a LOT (more than 3) of jokes about being a slave of some sort. it weirded me out a lot. this book also drops the r slur. also, one more reference to how short and tiny the protagonist was and i may have died. i literally like the trope of the girl being smaller because i myself am the same height as the protagonist, but it went very overboard. the romance aspect of this book was spectacular and if it weren't for the literal slur being dropped I would've given it a much higher rating. the final chapter was actual perfection, their dynamic was amazing. i found the part when
Lucy was yelling at Josh's dad
pretty cringe though.
