I found this to be an incredibly well written read. The writing was clean, the dialogue was a pleasure, and the idea is so very fun. While I enjoyed the writing, I was left feeling oddly about some of the finer points. Drive Me Crazy was so close to being a very special book; a few things done differently, and this is winning first place at an F1 race. Lizzy Dent is an author I’m going to check out more from. The quality of writing was impressive.

Loved it. Chloe and Matt had such great chemistry with their banter and I adored their 'Bug' and 'Dials' nicknames from their childhood racing days. I also appreciated getting inside Matt's head when he's driving and what it's like to be driving at exceptionally high speeds I will never be able to do. It's clear she'd done a lot of research on Formula One racing to at least bring some emotional truth to what it's like. Additionally I loved the secondary characters, especially Barry the eccentric team owner and his dogs - how is it I came away loving a one per center?!

The only thing I thought implausible was all the public sex between the two - there's no way there wasn't CCTV outside that shop or at Silverstone and they didn't get caught! I also wish we had Chloe deal with the smarmy crew member and fleshed out a bit more from her driving career and how she moved behind-the-scenes. Given she and Matt used to race each other, I'm amazed none of the media coverage spoke about that.

Smell the burning rubber from all the chemistry and enjoy another winner from Lizzy Dent. Emily Henry couldn't have said any better, I love her books.

Thanks to Putnam and NetGalley for the ARC.

Thank you so much for the preview of this book! Drive me Crazy was such a fun and quick read. As an F1 fan, the anecdotes of real life scenarios-drivers, principals, scandals- were especially fun to read. Overall this was slight and happy, and I can’t wait for the next one from Lizzy Dent.

This was not my favorite Lizzy Dent story. This is a steamy F1 story that has public sex acts and people in secret relationships. Those a a turn off for me. The racing aspects were spot on and it was well written.

This was a fun F1 Racing book- the first I’ve read. Nothing crazy, or groundbreaking new in this book- but this fluff was a perfect summer read.

I loved how different of a take Drive Me Crazy was on sports-romance. F1, I've never read about that and it was so intriguing. Chloe was such a boss and had a lot to lose being the only female Team Principal in the F1. The banter was perfect, but the best part was the race days and the stakes. Reading about Matt over come his trauma and his comeback, couldn't put it down. I finished the whole thing in one sitting.

I enjoyed this book. Chloe’s drive and vulnerability made her instantly easy to root for, and Matt brought just the right mix of charm and unresolved heartbreak. Their history, their push and pull, their slow-burning reconnection; it was all delicious. It’s fierce, flirty, full-hearted romance that I couldn’t put down.

So this is childhood crush and F1 romance? SIGN ME UP! I read this so quickly, it was addictive.

I was expecting a slow burn (which it isn’t) but there’s lots of yearning and complications that make this forbidden love so hard to put down.

I’ve never been a fan of workplace type romances but this was the exception! There was no third act breakup or miscommunication between the main characters. Both Chloe and Matt had great character development and emotional motivation. The romance and banter were so cute plus the spice level was perfect!

P.S. My only gripe (coming from a McLaren fan) was the mentions of the Red Bull car being awesome. Kidding… kind of. Sorry Lizzy Dent I know you worked for Red Bull so that’s fair, but that car needs work

Sparks really flied in this story! This book has the classic childhood crush to lovers trope, and then the we are forced to work together trope. It is a nice sizzling romance story. Not a huge fan of F1 racing but I am one sucker for a good romance story and this was it! I recommend this book if you are looking for a quick, romance read that's also a bit humorous.

I eagerly (if not always with a totally open mind, admittedly) read every F1 romance I can get my grubby little hands on and can therefore say with confidence that Lizzy Dent is the first person to really get the racing right. No notes.
But.
Famous people participating in sex acts in public places is a big peeve of mine, especially when the people involved are in a "secret" relationship. So, that's my explanation for the missing star.
