“I don’t want to see the world through rose-colored glasses. I want to see it with a wildflower heart like yours, desperately chasing after what makes me happy, wild, and free. And most of all, I want to chase after it with you.”
My little wildflowers, their story was so emotional and deep. Santiago (not Santi) is a lovely guy, he's self-conscious and thinks before he speaks. Noah was so much better in this book than in his own, he really put the effort into getting Santiago back in the game. 
The only thing was that I was expecting this huge fake-dating trope, but in the end, it was less than 40% of the book. I didn't really connect with Chloe, so I felt disconnected sometimes in the pov, but that's okay because he was enough for the whole book.

5 millions stars!!! 💜 I loved this one with my entire being. Chloe and Santiago deserve everything and more. I love them so much. Santiago had from the first book and this didn't disappoint at all. Noah was also such a sweetheart in this one, I actually loved him a lot which is so funny because I remember when I hated him lol but he really has grown on me. The plot of this was amazing truly. Chloe is so sweet. I am so sad to be done with this series and to be leaving this universe. I feel like I'm leaving a group of friends behind but I loved getting to know these characters and their stories. I'm going to miss them <3

And that's a wrap on the series! I don't know how I'm gonna get over this.
I thought Santiago was great during the first book so I was excited to learn more about his story. Of course the prologue had to be devastating, so cruel of Lauren Asher to make me cry since the start of the book.
I loved Chloe, her strength and positivity were just what Santiago needed and I love me some good old fake dating so everything was set up for me to love the book.
Except.. I kind of missed the Formula 1 setting, which for obvious reasons was not present, and the other protagonists. It's true that Maya and Noah appear, especially at the start of the book, but I definitely missed Liam, Sophie, Jax and even Elena. 
A great ending for the series even if I felt disappointed in some aspects.

5 MF STARS I KNEW SANTIAGO WAS GOING TO BE MY FAVORITE RACER!!!!
This book was amazing and made me feel like how I felt when I read the heart principle in that I really care and love these characters. Although I don’t relate to them as much I still understand them and absolutely love them individually and together.

I love how Santiago treated Chloe in that he always wanted what was best for her and didn’t like that she had to grow up the way she did. I love how he did things for her because of this too i.e. the mom thing, the dad thing, and even Brooke in the end of the book. I also love how Chloe never pushed Santiago on the subject of racing and his prosthetic. She only ever encouraged him to try to do things that dealt with his last slowly but surely. Also she made sure he was confident, proud, and loved himself before you know because she knew the importance of it like she said.

I love the fake dating trope so I guess that’s just another reason as to why I loved this book.

Lastly, I loved this book because reading it felt safe and like being with someone you love whether familial, friendship, or romantic. It felt safe, comfortable, and sweet even in the third act conflict.

I say even in the third act conflict, because even though it’s a romance novel and I know they’re going to end up together I didn’t feel very anxious like I usually do. You could tell that these characters don’t just love each other but like the book says are IN love with each other. There was never doubt in my mind or theirs that they loved each other even in the conflict which doesn’t happen often in romance novels ESPECIALLY ones with the fake dating trope.
