Thank you to Netgalley for the earc in exchange for an honest review
Going into this book I thought I was going to like it as I love Formula 1 and I love romances however I ended up not liking this at all. First of all, this is a personal grip with it and if you aren't a fan of F1 it won't bother you, it wasn't realistic. Diana is an F2 champion and the only female F2 champion and you're telling me that no F1 driver has heard of her, when on the grid she's the best driver ever getting podium and win after podium and win and even winning the championship at the end IN HER ROOKIE YEAR it's almost shrugged off even to the point when she doesn't get kept on by her team at the end of the year when if this was real life her contract would have been extended half-way through the season .
My least favourite part of the book was the writing, I hated how it was mostly telling us rather than showing us, for example, there is a secondary character who is the best friend of the male main character and who starts to change in personality after getting a seat in a top team however we don't see any of this and only know about it because it was told to us when the MMC was confronting him. It was disjointed and frustrating at times and i was pulled out of the book constantly.
