This year, I've learned that contemporary romance is one of my least favorite genres. "Ride With Me" wasn't earth-shattering. In fact, it was full of clichés, tropes I despise, and scenes that usually make my eyes roll. Yet, somehow, it worked for me. Sometimes you need a book that's just vibes. That doesn't tax your brain. It was exactly what I needed. Something cute, light, and charming. 4 stars.

A very cute read! I do wish it was a bit shorter but the narrators did a good job at keeping the story moving.

this was fine. I really liked the premise (I love a reluctantly married or fake dating plot), but the relationship and chemistry wasn’t quite there for me. I think I have trouble sympathizing that much with rich people, and the nepo driver was especially unsympathetic to me. I also really wanted them to have a more sophisticated solution to the PR problems. and the family dynamics were kind of wack? idk, there were just a lot of small plot elements that bugged me enough to be distracting. 
I liked seeing the MC grow from her past relationship and heal; that was probably my highlight.
