�� honestly im such a sucker for a sports romance

☶��� ”Her happiness is blinding, like staring into the sun. I don’t want to look away. I’d let her steal the sight from my eyes, the breath from my lungs. I’d let her do her worst and still be eternally grateful.�� ☶���

his love for her is insane. it’s something every delulu girl wishes to experience in her life. i have literally been playing “foolish one�� by taylor bc this book got me so giddy checking my mailbox for confessions of love as beautiful as his 🤭🤭 to my displeasure there weren’t any 😞 (I don’t even have a mailbox)

🏁 ᴘʟᴏ�� 🏁

the book follows dev and willow, our two main characters. dev is a formula 1 driver and willow is his best friend’s little sister. who has had an insane childhood crush on him bc obviously he’s so perfect and amazing !!

it starts in dev’s perspective, and he had just kissed willow and is still freaking about it. then fast forward 7 months later, and they’ve forgotten it’s ever happened (or tried). but willow had just graduated and she is currently jobless so she pays her brother a little visit, where she obviously sees dev, only to discover he has gotten into a huge scandal. who does he hire to fix it?? surprise surprise, it’s willow😌

🏎�� the formula 1 aspect. im not into sports ngl, but why was this actually interesting?? f1 played a big part of the story, it wasn’t just about the romance. and it looked like the author had done so much research and stuff bc everything looked and sounded really thought out. obviously i could be wrong bc i don’t know shit about it, but i found it really intriguing when usually I don’t. so if you are fans of f1, it is a big part of the story and not just swept to the side.

🎀 the romance. dev carried it all I was obsessed with him. he was one of the sweetest boys ever. he had so much respect for willow, and as much as he liked her, he never did anything to make her uncomfortable or awkward since they are coworkers after all. anytime she did anything, he was her #1 supporter and vice versa. they both took care of eachother AND no miscommunication im actually gonna sob i was so happy.

😬 the beginning. we only got to see the aftermath of their first kiss, and I think I would’ve liked to see at least what led to it or something bc in all honesty, it was a little random. and so when they reunited and they were all awkward bc they kissed, I didn’t feel as much tension because I didn’t witness it yk?? but that’s my only complaint because the rest was absolute perfection!!

᯸���𐭩 ”Good luck today.��
“Don’t need it,�� I tease, mirroring her grin. “I’ve got you.��
��(and then he fails the race but we don’t talk about that)

᯸���𐭩 “I may not have won the race today, but having willow in my arms feels better than winning ever could.��

᯸���𐭩 “She’s beaming up at me now, and I swear my heart doesn’t know what to do at the sight of it. I’m down so fucking bad.��
