You don't need to know jack shit about F1 racing to read this book. It doesn't go into deep detail b/c racing is really just a subplot to get the characters in the same place. Like if you know racing cars they go fast like me, then don't hold back reading it. Super cute love story, I loved that the MMC didn't just pout during their break but actually worked on himself and getting to be the man that the FMC deserves. I debated giving 4 stars, just because it took me a minute to get into it (listening wise). the girl VA is the same as "Carrie Soto is Back" and it took me a while to stop picturing Carrie as the FMC and to picture Maya. Maya isn't of a hard ass as Carrie so hearing that voice for her was hard, Maya is more shy. But I ended up loving her being the VA as her because Maya is so sassy it works.
