Ok I liked this book but not as much and I did the first one. The bucket list idea was great and I think it set a great plot. Liam had a rough backstory and I get why he struggles so much with accepting his love for Sophie, but it still took him too long. There were points were I would get so frustrated with him because he wasn’t accepting it,  he made it seem to himself and everybody that he just wanted to f*ck her and it got so frustrating, the comments too! It just went way too long on that side. Sophie was a fun character, I think that she is just quirky and witty that it made the book better and it alleviated some of my frustration with Liam. Their relationship was good, not great but good. The attraction was definitely there I was just missing something. I still Sophie still needed something, a little more backstory? I don’t know, something else to make the plot better. They were a good couple and I liked their relationship, I just struggled a bit with the individual characters if that makes sense. The epilogue tho!!!!! Sooooo good and just made me like the book wayyyyy more. I would read it again

Dear Liam,
I can’t count how many times I wanted to scream at you while reading your story! 😫 You were not at all in touch with your own feelings!
But thank god you realised in time and gave us an amazing happy ending 🥰


The way Sophie helped Liam grow and overcome his fears was beautiful! Sophie learned to let go of planning everything in life while Liam learned that planning can be very effective. They both learned a lot from each other and I thought it was done amazingly! 

Loved the extended epilogue and god I wish Lauren Asher is going to revisit a storyline between Stella and Marko 👀

Her "f*ck it list" was just...a bit dull. And that she thought it was so scandalous made me cringe a bit. I don't read romance novels for the plot (who does) and this one just didn't hook me fast enough.

Welp, I guess Lauren Asher is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors when it comes to romance.
I loved this second book in the Dirty Air series, although maybe not as much as the first one. I'll admit Liam's character was really frustrating, refusing to see what was right in front of him, but I still loved his relationship with Sophie so much. I especially loved how Lauren really took the time to develop their relationship as friends (and that we could feel the tension and attraction between these two the whole time). I'll definitely miss them.

I was told this one was by far better than the first but I found both of them enjoyable... The storyline was as predictable as you can expect from a romcom but the little plot twist at the end was a nice touch. Sophie and Liam were really cute and again, love the F1theme. 
Overall, a good read.
