The story is okay: entertaining floof that makes it easy to listen. The plot isn't as dramatic as the blurb makes it seem, though, which is a disappointment. All the elements are present, but they don't seem very impactful as the romance takes the forefront fast and everything else becomes just background nuances for it. I found myself not very invested in this story.

The book deserves a mention for great representation of chronic pain caused by a genetic condition, though: the FMC has hypermobility that she always needs to take into account for, but who still manages to live quite a normal and fullfilling life surrounded by people and things that bring her joy. Visibility of minorities, such as people with chronic illness, always deserve more chances to get seen and understood.

I'm so glad I finished this book. I didn't had the dedication to read it, but still made it! It's a okay story. I loved that there were not many spicy scenes,
but i'm done with the fact they all get proposed in the epilogue. I don't want them to break up but it's get very tiring

I enjoyed this story, especially since it wasn’t a tug-and-pull love story with a third act breakup.

I appreciate that the FMC - Willow - has a chronic condition that is mentioned throughout the novel. This adds to her depth and humanness. 

This is your classic brother’s best friend/ childhood friends love story. Both MCs are mixed-race characters and it’s nice that their cultures are represented in the story.

I see that Soltani has another novel coming out next year in the same universe and I’ll be adding it to my TBR.

Love, love, love. A story where the main couple is just absolutely in love with one another and stays like that throughout the whole story, finally! The beautiful way the characters were written made this such a pleasant read. I loved the inclusion of different cultures and of a chronic illness. Just so fun, a must-read! It is important to note that there is only a minor conflict so this story mainly focuses on the love story (but I also think a story doesn't always need a major conflict to be good).

i had so much fun reading this book. i started it during the last week of summer break and it made me realize how much i was missing f1. our girl willow finds herself in need of a job after graduation and our boy dev needs help rescuing his image after his previous social media manager quit with.. pizzazz. match made in heaven right? well. my first tab in the entire book: "men are dramatic" especially ours after the 'inchident' on the stairs. this book was a fun ride and i am so excited for the second one!! cmon may 20th, 2025!

we've got brother's best friend, forced proximity, forbidden love, and ... F1! *sigh*

per my spreadsheet:
spice 🌶  - a 4 🌶  spicy (romance.io scale)
length - just right
reading speed - read in 2 days
did it make me cry? - so close
