      I liked the relationship between Drew and Trent, it really seemed like they cared for each. But there was one thing that bothered me and made me roll my eyes so many times, and that thing is the many stereotypical comments the MC make about women, how they are loud and talk to much, are dramatic, only care about clothing, they soft and delicate (in an annoying way). I don’t it seems to me there could be another way to show what the MC liked about each other and not just by bringing up again and again that they are not like all the women in the world. I suppose the author tries to redeem it by showing a strong feminine character that befriends the MC, but it’s the typical I’m not like other girls which for it’s more of the same. I don’t know it just rubs me the wrong way I guess. I really hope this changes in the next books because I’d really like to continue with the series and see where the story goes.

      I think this book might be a little confused about what it wants to be.

      The writing wasn't good (even for romance) but it also wan't the worst out there. This was structurally poor and the plot was completely unoriginal. The characters were caricaturish and the romance was corny and cliched. Not to mention the cheap ending, which left the romance completely unresolved with the mother of all romantic cliffhangers.

      However. Where some books with the above mentioned qualities might have had me chucking the book in the nearest fire, this one made me giggle. There was next to no intentional humor in the book, but on the whole it tipped over on the ridiculous side, so I could read it as a parody where it went over board.

      If I had to compare this to something, I'd say this book is the cheapest of chocolates (possibly meant for nonhumans) that no one would really choose to eat, but when the only other option is broccoli and you're just having one of those days, it's more than easy to devour the whole bar in one go.

      I have some mixed feelings about this book because I really liked the relationship between Trent and Drew but there were some other parts that I really did not enjoy.

      I really did not like what was done with Joey's character. Joey is a women who races cars, like Drew. Everything she does is presented by as so different from any other women. She eats real food instead of only eating salads and drinking water. She drinks beer, which is apparently something women don't do. Characters are constantly talking about how they go beat by a girl. This is all stuff that I hate in books but when it's in a sort of gay for you book written by a woman, it beings to feel very much like girl hate and it sort of made me feel like this book was written as a gay romance because most women are boring. This book acknowledges that it is hard for Joey to be in a male dominated activity but it is apparently incapable of understanding that the same factors that make it hard to be a woman in a male dominated space also lead women to present themselves in certain ways.

      I did really like parts of the story of Drew and Trent getting together. I really like friend to lover stories and I thought this one was really well done. I like the emotional backstory that friends to lovers stories have and you could tell that the two of them really did care about each other and had for a long time. I liked that they also worked together when it came to car racing. I did not love that this was a sort of gay for you story, at least for one party in the relationship. I don't like those types of stories because typically they could be presented as people figuring out their sexuality or discovering their actually bisexual without changing the plot much. Most gay for you stories seem to be unable to acknowledge that bisexual people exist and always have the characters going through an existential crisis and realizing they're actually gay. That isn't exactly the case here but it's pretty close and that just grinds my gears.

      I know I just complained about a lot of things but I did enjoy this, especially the romance parts and I will probably read the next book, partially because this one ended on a cliffhanger and I want to know what happens. Maybe some of the issues I had will be resolved in later books. I kinda hope the romance will take center stage and there will be less angst about what it all means for their sexuality. I would recommend this for a very sweet friends to lovers story, especially if you know you won't be bothered by the things I was.
