Such a fun debut from Daisy!

A formula 1driver falls for a newly divorced woman on a flight. He has her upgraded to first class and he falls first and harder!

I love a hero that chases the heroine no matter how hard she tries to push him away

Normally, I can keep reading through a book and hope that it will get better; I am not one to usually DNF books this quickly into them… however, this book was nothing if not cringeworthy. The male main character (Hugo) was obsessive and borderline stalkerish over the female main character (Rita). The female main character gave off the stereotype of ‘I’m not like all the other girls’ which I can’t stand in a book unless it’s done right… in this case, it was not unfortunately. I feel like I would just dread reading this so unfortunately I have decided to not continue with this book :/

 Race Me Never is Daisy Thorn's debut romance book, and there is clearly a ton of potential. Rita was a relatable character who you couldn't help but love, and the plot was written well. Nothing felt unnecessary and it all connected so well as the plot moved forward. I love the meet cute in this story. Airport meet cutes are one of my favorite things, and Rita and Hugo have the ultimate luck with their original and connecting flights being the same.

I also loved that the setting was split mostly between Ukraine and London. I haven't read a romance book set in Eastern Europe, and that was an amazing change of pace.

This book's rating hinges on the insta-love and Hugo in the beginning of the book. Hugo's feelings felt more like obsession's rather than romantic to me, and while I've noticed that is popular, it is not a trope for me.
