I went in hoping to enjoy this and that the F1 would be accurate.
Good news it is however, this is possibly the slowest paced book I've ever read!
The Main Characters don't even properly meet until 30% of the way through, at times the plot is very predictable and the 3rd act drama (not a break up) is incredibly rushed as it comes at 96% off the book, which is plain insane. I almost feel like the author finished and the publishers made them go back and add a bit of drama.
The spice is decent a solid 2-3 out of 5, nothing too out there but not vanilla or closed door.

3.5⭐️ I really enjoyed this one! It’s been a while since I listened to an F1 romance but I was so here for it! 

Spencer is cocky and really has a past he has to work through during the book. There were moments I didn’t love his attitude towards cami about things—  & I especially didn’t love his thoughts about her that we get during hid chapters. He did get better, but he was just kind of unloveable at first. I did however love cami!! Her strength & grit to work thru her demons at the track & her slowly letting people in as the book progressed was so good to read. Overall I liked this, but lots of parts fell flat. Their romance shot from 0-100 very fast & I didn’t really believe it. The F1 aspects & all of the racing moments gave it the spark and jump from 3-3.5! 

HOWEVER, the audiobook was fantasticcccccc! Loved Shane east as the bad boy!!! 

Thank you to NetGalley for the gifted audiobook!

Unfortunately, I did not connect with the storyline or the characters and it was hard for me to stay focused on reading this book. The story didn’t have a nice flow, and the moving pieces didn’t fit well together. This book had a paper thin plot with one dimensional characters.

Riggs was annoying, childish and confusing. The trauma that Camila endured is something that most woman struggle with and I liked the representation of mental health. However, her thoughts rambled on so much.

Overall, I would say this book was underwhelming.

I expected this to be good-bad. Maybe I'm a softy, but this was bad-bad and the grossest, most infantalising shit I've ever read (also because it didn't try to be as far as I'm aware, which means it thought this is normal)
