This was such a solid debut and I enjoyed reading it. Lilah and Arthur’s story pulled me in, and I finished this quickly without even really trying to! It was just incredibly more-ish. 

As a formula 1 fan, I felt like the sport was accurately portrayed in Slipstream (something that will immediately take me out of the text). But it was still accessible enough that even if you’re not a fan, you won’t feel out of your depth! 

I did find that there was a lot of telling instead of showing - I often felt like Lilah as the narrator just was explaining everything to me, where as I really prefer when an author trusts me to read between the lines and hear what the characters aren’t saying as much as what they are. I also felt like some of the plot points were a little vague, and Lilah’s ending felt a bit left-field.

Overall, I still had a great time with this book, and I will absolutely pick up other books by this author!
