This book was better than I expected it to be but unfortunately Lauren Asher knows nothing about F1! The way she writes that world and their cars is just not right and if accuracy matters to you, this is not the book for you. But if you lean into it being ridiculous it’s fun and sexy and easy to read and we all need those books too

My two favorite things, F1 and books! 

LOVED Maya and Noah’s story. Maya standing up for what she wants, Noah working on himself to meet those standards??? We love to see it.

Didn’t enjoy the perspective the book was in. The overall plot was super cheesy but like in a well preformed way. Kinda predictable. Spicier than what it appears. Got me into liking hot f1 racers though 🤭. Like F1 is up there with Hockey players right but their are not any high quality edits on tik tok which is extremely disappointing.

Maybe it’s because I already watch F1 racing and the behind the scenes on Netflix, but I really enjoyed this book. I do agree that the beginning was slow but there is a lot to the race. My heart was literally racing the first chapter 😮‍💨 

Unpopularity opinion, so far I’m enjoying this series more than the Dreamland Billionaires series. I recognize that I am the type of reader that needs more context in the stories I read which is why I liked this book a lot.  It not only focused on the relationship but everything else that was happening. Maya and Noah compliment each other so well 💕 I was melting while reading the softer moments in the book.

Having an interest in F1 Racing (or at least race car drivers...) helps. Noah has good character growth (we love to see a man voluntarily enter therapy!). "Brother's rival now teammate" is a new one.

This was pain. 
Sad because I am always looking forward to F1 books like this but there’s no significant conflict, very little character development and the spicy is not worth the wait. 
Very little F1 in my F1 book as well, which I get but still, always prefer more.
MCs were generic and side characters are forgettable.
Will keep looking for better F1 books
