the writing felt slightly better here but i don't think that's saying much. the main characters were both insufferable (sophie was NLOG and liam was an annoying asshole) and the dialogue was cringe so i'm just proud of myself for not DNFing. i'm hoping the last two books are better but at this rate i should manage my expectations.

[MAY 2020] 3.5/5
I had to lower my rating a little this time -- I still enjoyed most of the things I enjoyed the first time I read it, including bucket list fulfilment, but the things that I didn't like last time were just heightened a bit too much in my reread. Liam annoyed me with his need to make everything sexual, I would've liked it if he had more to his personality and if he could go at least one conversation without being a horndog. Still enjoy the F1 elements, though!
[FEB 2020] 4/5
• not quite as good as throttled but i'm in an F1 rabbit hole this week so it was still great
• bucket list fulfillment is one of my favourite tropes and this book is basically centred around that, although i did think some bits needed a bit more attention
• idk if it's just me but i really could not talk to my parents about my sexual exploits and/or having a friend with benefits the way that liam does
• i adore sophie but i do have to say she's your typical 'not like other girls' girl -- how many NLOG girls do you need before they become like other girls?
• liam got annoying sometimes with his whole 'i can give u good orgasm' thing even in serious moments like bruh please stop
• at the same time i did enjoy this a lot, just wish there was more focus on the actual F1 elements like they did with Noah in throttled
TWs: death during childbirth (off page), recreational drug use, vomiting, dubious consent, alcoholism, slutshaming (secondary characters)
Tropes/themes: bad boy x good girl, reformed player mmc, friends with benefits, bucket list fulfilment, rival F1 teams, tying up, ice play, blindfolds, public sex, phone sex, i see how they look at you, forbidden romance
