unironically very good……. but they need to stop writing f1 drivers having full conversations with whoever during GPs….. i know it’s cute, but that’s enough

I was really craving an F1 book to fill the hole in my heart from the Dirty Air series. I had high hopes for this book in the beginning but as the story continued it fell flat. The plot was very repetitive, with nearly identical events happening multiple times throughout the book. The relationships were weirdly childish and by the end I really just got the ick from all the characters…

LOVED the F1 bits, especially when the narrator's/author's opinions aligned with mine(fuck street circuits). also really fun was trying to guess which characters were inspired by real life people (jumpscare when eric whom i saw as a lewis insert was white in an insta pic).
absolutely hated the henri/luca rivalry that straight up sounded incestuous at points. ew. "Watching her in my jacket as her brother looked on in frustration, it riled something up in me." brooooo stop that shit you're weird.
i don't think there was much character development? we don't really see luca as the playboy he supposedly is like at all. but i liked how conflincts were always talked about quickly and resolved in 2 chapters at most. (<-despises miscommunication trope)

I really wanted to like this, it started out so strong and I really thought it was going to be a 5 star read. I think it might have needed some more time to bake. I love the concept, an all-female F1 team is a dream and the author has clearly watched at least some F1 - although she takes some creative liberties, which is totally fine.
I decided to DNF ultimately because the farther I got into the book the less I liked it. The spice feels forced, and is really weirdly timed in the context of their love story. There were also a lot of non-spicy scenes where I found myself getting pulled out of the story instead of pulled in. If it was shorter I might have finished it anyways, but she's a long one and it lost me.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of A MAN'S WORLD, and let's say I really liked this book.
The fact that there is an F1 team composed only of women is a refreshing concept, and the way it was handle was beautiful.
You could really see all the double standards going on for male drivers and female drivers.
The fake dating trope was of course, to die for, as usual.
What also was a real plus to the book was the media elements in it.
All in all, I really liked A MAN'S WORLD and would definitely recommend you read it.

I got A Man’s World as an ARC copy from the author in exchange for my honest review… so here it is!
This debut F1 inspired novel is everything! Georgia is one of the few female drivers and is nickname Georgia “Sassy” Dubois because of how she handles the press (she doesn’t take crap, it’s amazing LOL) and Luca “Playboy” Rossi…. Well I be you can imagine with his nickname were he could use a little help… so in turn, these two start fake dating. The only problem with that is Georgia absolutely despises Luca as he stood her up for a date years ago and never gave her an explanation why. Oh! And to top it off…. He’s Georgia’s twin brother, Henri’s, best friend.
Once they start this act of fake dating… the lines blur.. and the real feelings start emerging.
My gosh. The enemies to lovers/fake dating is so well done and will have you hooked the entire read. ALSO if you want a new book boyfriend, Luca freaking Rossi is it my friends. The filth, the nicknames, and the love he has for Georgia is just *chefs kiss*
This novel is releasing October 6th, 2023. Get this one on your TBR’s friends!
Tropes:
•enemies to lovers
•brother’s best friend
•F1 drivers
•forced proximity
•fake dating
