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

The events of Collided overlap those of the first book, Throttled, but shift the perspective to different characters. This makes the plot a little too predictable to my liking. The added insight into Sophie' and Liam's characters is nice, altough it feels somewhat insignificant to the whole group of F1 people in the series: the others were given barely any time to shine during this book (just enough to hint at / build a shaky premise for the next sequel). I think the main gain here is to see
if/how
Sophie's fuck it list
gets completed
— so if you're here for the smut and a (tropes:
friends to friends with benefits to lovers
) love story, you'll get what you bargain for, but otherwise this book is easily skippable.

I think I’m a Dirty Air girlie 🤭

Collide follows almost in tandem with the events of Throttled and breaks down the relationship between Sophie and Liam. Liam is terrified of loss and Sophie is looking to make her life a bit more worth living, but their arrangement sets them off toward a path of inevitable romance and heartbreak. I though this was cute and the dynamics weren’t what I expected at all. I’m looking forward to Wrecked!

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.

super weird relationship between these brothers and the mention of waiting for a girl to be older so she’s not jailbait 👍

Idk if I’m just realizing that I love friends to lovers or what, but I really enjoyed this! If you’re gonna read a romance about f1 I think you have to be prepared for a romance fitting for that world, which is over the top. I thought it was interesting that it’s the same timeline as book 1 Throttled but from different characters, and I guess I liked these characters and their storyline a bit more. While at first Liam seems rather pushy he clearly is coming from a place of personal trauma, and at his core is just a very kind person. He has good character growth by the end.

Narrators are also excellent!

4/5 🌶️
