F1 driver + social media queen?! I NEEDED TO READ THIS!!!
Dev and Willow’s love story was filled with adrenaline, angst, and super sweet moments tucked into the chaos of F1. Both characters were easy to fall in love with, Willow especially. I loved everything about her, from her tenacity to go after what she wants to the obsession with macarons! Reading her come into her own throughout the book was what kept me coming back for more!! The representation of her chronic illness didn’t feel forced, instead it was such a real a raw insight. I want more Willow content!!!!!!!
Dev is hot, that’s all I have to say. Case closed, I loved him!!! The angst and history was the perfect level of YUM.
The sports and social media management storylines were beautifully written and captivating. If you’re new to F1 or don’t understand it well, Simone does a beautiful job of making everything easy to understand. Other topics such as being a person of color and almost needing to “prove” something in the workplace hit home in a way I haven’t yet read before. When books make me reflect on my own life experiences this way, I think room for growth and healing is huge here. That’s why I love to read 🙂
I am so so happy to have received this ARC and I am excited to get a physical copy to annotate with all my lil giggles and squeals when it releases!
