A brief review of one of the worst books I've ever read!
Firstly, you can't just take a dog to Germany for a week's holiday that thing would be in quarantine for months! Secondly, this book was so fatphobic. The amount of time it spent telling me how skinny and ballet dancer Lilith was compared to her fat, German relatives was horrendous especially as it's YA so the target audience really doesn't need that message. Thirdly, the writing was awful and every character a one-dimenional cliche. Fourthly she fell in love with a boy who she was blood related to with a sum total of about 4 hours interaction! Fifthly she cured him of trauma based mutism just by yelling at him during an equally traumatic event - ableist as fuck! The ADHD rep was also awful, she had hats and used big words - yup definitely the only symptoms of neurodiversity!
