10/10 Pacing
We had a well written set up. The book remains interesting throughout the entire book.
8/10 Story Arc
There is a lot of behind the scenes F1 and on page racing content in this book. As a newbie to F1 (not a car enthusiast), I really was not really interested, so I scrolled passed most of these moments. It's well-written I'm sure, I personally was just not into it. All I wanted was Luca and Georgia.
8/10 Characters
We meet a few characters that I just could not get myself to be interested in, especially at the beginning. But at some point their presence is toned down a bit, and we get more of the MCs and that's all I wanted.
10/10 Inclusion of the teased tropes
The tropes came in neatly throughout the entire book. Nothing was out of place regarding the tropes. The slowburn was well done!
✨ Book Review ✨
🏁A Man's World by Grace Newman (469 pages)🏁
This was supposed to be an ARC but something happened and I'm now reviewing it 2 weeks after release 🥲
Regardless, I'm still following my ARC review "rubric" because why not 😉
⭐⭐⭐⭐:
I now know that F1 romances might not be for me (I scrolled past most of not all of them). I just could not get myself to be interested in car or racing talk. This is the sole reason why it took me this long to finish this book (6 days). Everything else is well-written, so I definitely recommend this book. We just had a lot of fillers/extra characters/F1 conversations that were not for me. Besides that, this was a great read!
🌶️🌶️🌶️:
It gets hot for sure. TV-MA is the rating I would give it if we're referring to American TV show standards. I like how the author included these scenes. They weren't repetitive, they weren't plot placeholders and they weren't dull. There was praise so I was happy that!
Grace is a talented indie author so please show your support 💙
Tropes Include:
🏎️ F1 Romance

This is exactly what I needed! A great rep for women who are into cars/F1/racing, the entire cast of characters was so cute and they felt like the "found family" of F1. The villain of the story is an evil ex, his arc or place in the story didn't have a resolution, but maybe we'll see him in the next book (hope not, cuz he sucks). I was glad there was no 3rd act breakup (finally!). Speaking of, the romance was slow-burn and well-paced, it didn't feel rushed, it was funny, sweet and spicy, charming, and sooo adorable. I had to fight my silly smile when I was reading in public.
I'm giving it 4 stars because the writing itself wasn't as good. There was a lot of repetition of some adjectives, which some readers might find annoying. BUT I still recommend reading it. It's a debut, so I hope that future books will be better and better.
And if you want a fun and uncomplicated story to read (want to get out of a reading slump or need cheering up), this is the book for you!
