Double Apex was my second F1 romance and it didn't miss! What did miss was the writing. I think for a debut author, Josie Juniper did well and I think with more experience and refinement, she's going to be a future powerhouse. Unfortunately for me, the poor writing really took away from the story. No tension was built. There were a lot of opportunities to build tension and each opportunity fell flat. I struggled for the first 50% of this book to get into it. I found the FMC, Phae, to be very pretentious and I really struggled to like her. I wasn't getting STEM FMC, I was getting pretentious, spoiled, genius kid. Cos as the MMC was more relatable, but his POVs were also a struggle to get through. I don't want to list out my issues because I don't want this review to be a rant, I want it to be positive. There is absolute room for growth and I can't wait to see it in future books.
