okay first and foremost i consider simone a friend (okay, that may be a stretch but we dm about f1 so honestly WE ARE FRIENDS IN MY MIND OK!) but even if we weren’t, i knew since i first heard that an indie f1 book was getting published that this would be for me. admittedly, it has taken me WAY too long to pick it up, but sometimes, when you KNOW you’ll love something, you unknowingly make excuses to not pick it up just bc you know that once you’re done, that’s it. you will never be able to read it for the first time again. and again, i was right, bc i ate this book up, and it was very much FOR ME!
i adored all the f1 references and talk and it helped me miss it a bit less (winter break can u pls hurry up and be done so i can watch 20 millionaires driving in circles again thx), but i specially loved the love i could feel in every page. simone truly loves her characters and you can TELL. and i love them as well, so so deeply ugh. willow my sunshine girl is so relatable and amazing and the chronic illness rep was not only so on point but handled with such care and realness and importance. AND DEV MY LIL GOOFY GOLDEN RETRIEVER I WOULD DIE FOR HIM STOPPP HE IS MY PERFECT MAN!!! they are so perfect together i wanted to die, AND I AM READY TO SELL MY SOUL FOR AN ARC OF THE NEXT ONE RN. SERIOUSLY NAME THE PRICE IDC
