◽️Dual 1st person POV◽️
This is an insta-love story, where both MCs fall instantly for each other (honestly it felt more like insta-lust than love). They don't know/talk to each other for years but can't seem to get the other one out of their thoughts.
They both go back and forth with their bickering, wanting each other but not communicating or showing how they really feel. It does get overplayed really quickly. There were times where I got so annoyed at Quinn for saying one thing and then doing another. She's very hypocritical for most of the book, mostly because she can't bring herself to trust easily.
They're also young, so it kind of explains why there's so much angst between them.
Ransom is very vocal about what he wants pretty early on, and very, VERY possessive. It was kinda sweet at first, but it turned into something you'd consider a red flag in real life. He does redeem himself toward the end of the book, though.
There's spice sprinkled throughout, mostly mild. No mention of protection or birth control whatsoever.
The rest of the characters that are part of Ransom's crew were all interesting to read about, and I'm glad there will be more books that focus on them. They definitely did their part as supporting characters in Quinn and Ransom's story (Fox and Scout in particular, hope they get their own love stories each, they definitely deserve them!)
The story was interesting enough to keep reading, although it felt a little clunky at times. Some of the dialogue felt forced, and it made the moments awkward and unnatural. It doesn't happen often thankfully.
I typically don't like reading books that rely heavily on miscommunication to keep the story going, but I found myself wanting to read this one to the end. Ransom's POV was fun to read, and made his love story more sweet.
Loved the idea of a mechanic shop owner/racer love story. This book was full of angst, fighting, and friendship.
