I have constantly seen other books that I like compared to this, and I have had it recommended. Once I started it and realized it was written in first person, I almost stopped there. I thought that Lucy seemed just oddly obsessed with her size? Just constantly reminding how short, little, tiny, mini and petite she was got old for me very quickly. I love an enemies to lovers usually but this just felt wrong. Josh was too possessive and controlling to be compelling for me. It was not my favorite but maybe I came in with too high of expectations after the hype.

thought it was okay but upon further inspection, it's terrible because its characters are horrible people
