2.0

This is a F1 story where a female racer enters the race and works along with the World Champion. I was really excited to read this book because I love F1 and really wanted to see a cute romance come out of it. I have to say that I was mostly disappointed with this book. I loved the racing aspect of this story and seeing the view of the FMC of how she’s treated in the field. It shows how F1 is shown as a male sport but she changed that and I loved that. The romance part of this story was lacking and I wish that was there as it would have been so much better. This story is written from both Diana and Miguel’s pov. 

 

Diana is an Emirati who wants to get into F1 and she does. I loved seeing her not give up when the world wanted her. Her family were so caring and I loved that for her. Then we have Miguel who I have to say was such a confusing character. Throughout the entire story, I feel like I barely understood him. There were many side characters but none truly stuck out to me. The romance part of this book was lacking and felt very forced. I was excited for that side of the book but there was just no chemistry with the characters. 

 

The ending was whatever as I stopped caring for the story and its character. As much as I enjoyed F1 and Diana, it didn’t help me hold onto the book.
