Really sweet romance book with a few elements of spice. Both characters were believable and I read this in one sitting! Would highly recommend.

This was my first F1 romance and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Such a well paced and easy read. Full of friendship, supportive family and love🫶🏼

I love the podcast & essay updates in between chapters, a very refreshing touch.
I appreciated the accurate F1 knowledge in this book as it helps with realistic world building.

I love the career development with Maisie’s uni work and Gio’s career, both driven individuals.
Maisie‘s journey with her own psyche and her cycling is a really important milestone and a very mature topic in the book which can really be considered in real life. Understanding how your past trauma affects you and your negative emotions/actions and trying to learn how to be better.

I love the young and in love, slow burn vibes throughout this book, but also the mature topics that both characters deal with.

Ava is a rock for Maisie and she is a true friend, she supports her through everything and is someone everyone deserves to have in life. Maisie’s co-workers are also so sweet and protective of her, it’s lovely that she has such a great support network between school, friends and family.

The spice was very minimal and behind closed doors, but that didn’t bother me as the plot was well thought out so I was gripped with every chapter!

This was a quick read, started and finished it in the same day. First F1 romance for me and I didn't hate it. I actually really liked the chemistry and dynamic between Gio and Maisie. I loved how Fletcher portrayed their arguments. A lot of times, I feel like authors write out arguments how they wished arguments went - harsh and but fair and understanding, when really - and especially when you're young - arguments can be thoughtless, nasty and volatile. It made them feel a lot more authentic to me.

I liked the pacing, I liked the side characters and the conflict wasn't handled badly at all. This will definitely be a series I'll continue as they come out.

This was a very cute read but the plot definitely lacked something. I love the fake dating trope and was excited to see how it would be done in an F1 romance as I’ve recently gotten into this type of sports romance.

Unfortunately the MMC and FMC lacked the chemistry I was waiting for. They went from fake dating/barely seeing each, having massive rows and then bang, they have feelings for each other. I know it’s a romance, it’s not supposed to be fictional, but it just all felt a little far fetched. Also, how am I supposed to believe a uni student suddenly becomes the fake girlfriend of an F1 driver.

I wish I could have enjoyed it more, but onto the next one.

Amazing! First time reading F1 romance and I am hooked. This books is filled with family, friendship and love as well as touching on really important topics like councilling, anxiety and loss. Maisie and Gio have such depth to them and I was rooting for them always. Ava provides a soldi rock for maisie throughout the book and we all need a friend like her. I also love maisies professor, who supports and comforts her in one of her darkest times. I did find parts of the book a little "convenient". Almost like things happened just to make the plot move along. For example the conflict in Singapore felt slightly rushed. However, the plot, the romance and the book as a whole I loved. Will definitely be reading more by this author.

Fuck that was cute! I told myself I'd just read the first chapter before bed, but I finished it in one sitting and was up late instead. No regrets.
I'm a sucker for fake dating and they did it so well.

I would've loved to see Gio interact with Mia's family, or show more interest in her biking. Though I loved them watching bridgerton together and their date. It felt a bit one sided, but since we only have one POV, and we needed something to show us what he was like.. his family did that well. But their relationship still felt a bit shallow, and I felt like we kept being told they were similar instead of being shown it. Yes they each had their own shit to work out, but something was lacking to me.

I'm not sure how much the snippets of news in between chapters added to the overall feel, it seemed odd to me, and could've been used to further plot or explain things more.
We got extracts of her notes on Gio, but nothing on her actual paper, and I think that would've been a nice way to see her changing her views on the sport and her own issues. I thought her notes would come back to bite her if Gio misunderstood them, but again none of the snippets we read in-between chapters seemed to matter, so I'm not sure of the point.

Overall though, it was a fun read and well written. I'd definitely read it again!

You don't need any knowledge of F1 to enjoy the book, the basics are described, but none of it is vital to understand the book. Which I'm thankful for. Sometimes when I get niche or sports centered romances the technical jargon takes me out of the story or just makes it difficult to understand significant events, but that's not the case here.

Wow this was amazing!! I loved it I really am staring to get into F1 romances and this one really hit the spot!! Gives you just what you want in a romance..

Loved this fast paced YA racing story. It’s so nice to see a book for younger readers set in this genre. I highly enjoyed it and I know our younger readers will as well
