As someone who watches F1 and is obsessed with it, it was nice to finally read a sports romance where I understood the sport!! Loved the chemistry between the two main characters and I loved that there was no unnecessary third act breakup! A very nice, lighthearted read! Will deffo pick up the next book!!

It mainly took me a while because of law school but I finally finished it!! As usual, Tia Williams knows how to deliver a beautiful love story!! 🥰🥰 the magical realism element was something I actually enjoyed more than I thought I would!! I just wish we didn’t spend so much time on Ricki’s family, I know it’s meant for like character building and all but it kinda dragged for me 😭😭
