This was a pretty cute story!

Lilah moves to film a new documentary with her boyfriend, best friend, and business partner, Max, of different aspects of Ignition’s F1 drivers. She meets Arthur, the backup driver she is supposed to follow and film, and they seem to annoy each other right off the bat. However, Max breaks up with Lilah and fires her after revealing he’s been not only cheating, but the company is actually all his because he dealt with the paperwork and why not screw her over? Arthur and Lilah scheme together to try to tank the documentary neither of them wanted to do in the first place, and get Arthur out of his contact with his controlling uncle. The idea?… fake date and get caught so they’re both fired. What could go wrong?

I liked Lilah, Arthur, Sarah, Delaney, and Cameron’s characters, except sometimes I wish we saw more of the side characters and their interactions. I also wish we had more to Lilah. Maybe explored her family some more. I understand her closure but maybe even some interactions of Arthur and her family would be nice.

I received an eARC from Simon & Schuster via email/NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
