This was such an adorable romance and I really enjoyed the F1 setting. Both characters went on their own journeys and some parts were actually quite emotional. Loved the ending.

TLDR: If you’re a big F1 fan this may not be the book for you. If you know nothing about the sport you’ll like it.
——
I’m a F1 fan…I know a ridiculous amount about the sport and this book wasn’t written for someone like me.
I wish this was a hockey romance situation where things are different enough, names are changed to protect the innocent yada yada yada. But instead there’s name dropping in this book, so it’s meant to be our current existence, but so many inaccuracies and tiny give aways that highlight that the author may not know as much about the sport as they think they do. It feels like the author saw the hubhub surrounding F1 at the moment and said…”I can work with that”.
So much sport content... I don’t really care about qualifying I watch real F1 for that. I wan’t to know about the dudes falling in love.
Around 75% it starts to pick up. Maybe because it focuses more on the characters rather than racing?
CW: Parkinson’s, death of a parent, homophobia

**Harsher critiques**
3% and there is a foundation story line with disability rep that doesn’t track with the very first Google result…🤦♀️
Also dude is a 4 time F1 world champion but his sister is the full time carer for their mum…hire someone to do the job so your sister can enjoy not working working while spending time with her mum. Plus the author has suggested that his mum was/is a famous pop star. Let’s not pretend money is an obstacle for these people.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Sexual content, Death of parent, and Chronic illness
Moderate: Homophobia

took a while to get used to the writing style— maybe it’s just because the last book i read had a different style and i don’t read a lot anymore. was cute overall but was not too big of a fan that there was a lot of telling rather than showing. it felt like a major plot point that kian didn’t like being compared to his dad for reasons unknown to the public so when harper compares them both, he was upset and it added to their dislike for one another in the beginning. would have been nice to see it explained between them later as a part of their developing relationship but instead the reader is just told that kian told harper about it at some point.
