This book made me regret I ever picked up reading as a hobby.

The biggest gripe I have with sports romances is that so often, the sport itself does not matter. And it shows in this novel. If it is set in a certain universe, make sue to at least get the basics down before you write a terrible self-insert about some misogynist pig of a racing driver who turns good boy because of a woman.

Nothing about this story is pleasant t0 read. The dialogue is far fetched and some sentences read like tumblr posts from 2013. The way the characters act is like caricatures of humans. The names of the characters are ridiculous. The writing itself is terrible - I had multiple moments where the characters changed locations and the author did not even bother to tell us that.

I can whole heartedly say that this is the worst book I have ever read. And if you rated this 5*, I genuinely worry for your taste in men. 

The cringe manifesto

Lauren Asher never fails. I didn’t think I’d go for the whole bad-boy racer thing but damn if Throttled changed my mind. 

I think Noah & Santi’s relationship could have been a bit more fleshed out. Also, someone who has been the vicitm of childhood and domestic violence does not get over it after a few weeks of therapy. 

Wow I definitely enjoyed this way more than I thought I was going to. I think that's due to going into it with really, really low expectations - I thought I was going to hate it, but I actually enjoyed it quite a bit, and found myself wanting to pick it up a lot throughout the day when I had free time - it even made me lose track of time.
Yes, there were a lot of cringey moments, and it was definitely not the best book I've ever read, but it was a really good time - a book I needed to make me excited about reading again.

LOVED Maya and Noah’s story. Maya standing up for what she wants, Noah working on himself to meet those standards??? We love to see it.
