Dear Liam,
I can’t count how many times I wanted to scream at you while reading your story! 😫 You were not at all in touch with your own feelings!
The way Sophie helped Liam grow and overcome his fears was beautiful! Sophie learned to let go of planning everything in life while Liam learned that planning can be very effective. They both learned a lot from each other and I thought it was done amazingly!

But thank god you realised in time and gave us an amazing happy ending 🥰The way Sophie helped Liam grow and overcome his fears was beautiful!

Her "f*ck it list" was just...a bit dull. And that she thought it was so scandalous made me cringe a bit. I don't read romance novels for the plot (who does) and this one just didn't hook me fast enough.

Welp, I guess Lauren Asher is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors when it comes to romance.
I loved this second book in the Dirty Air series, although maybe not as much as the first one. I'll admit Liam's character was really frustrating, refusing to see what was right in front of him, but I still loved his relationship with Sophie so much. I especially loved how Lauren really took the time to develop their relationship as friends (and that we could feel the tension and attraction between these two the whole time). I'll definitely miss them.

I was told this one was by far better than the first but I found both of them enjoyable... The storyline was as predictable as you can expect from a romcom but the little plot twist at the end was a nice touch. Sophie and Liam were really cute and again, love the F1theme.
Overall, a good read.
