Willow begins working to repair her brothers best friend's (Dev's) image, who just happens to be a F1 driver, oh and she's had a crush on him her entire life. Dev is in desperate need of an image reboot if he wants to have a chance at getting on a better team, so he hires Willow to manage his social media, but he can't stop thinking about a kiss they shared 12 months ago. But he has to, for both of their sakes.
I wanted to love this, I got it via illumicrate, and I have a lot of F1 loving friends, though I have to say sports aren't really my thing. But quite honestly, I just felt like this dragged SO much, it was so difficult for me to relate to, or sympathise with either Dev or Willow.
This has loads of things I normally love in romances - friends to lovers, brothers best friend (esp one where the brother ACTUALLY wouldn't approve), huge diverse rep, travel, disability rep etc. but I couldn't love the book itself. I found the will they wont they (we know they will) a bit endless and all the talk about how the brother wouldn't improve just got me rolling my eyes.
It is very light-hearted and is a romance without a THIRD ACT BREAKUP which is amazing, but I would skip it if you're not really interested in F1.
