Throttled by Lauren Asher
2.5
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Loved the idea behind this book, however the execution was very rough. The dialogue was cringey and the MC's redemption felt half-baked. I enjoyed the F1 terminology and initial scenario. Asher did a great job of capturing the excitement of a race and the perils of F1. If you found this book after watching Netflix's Drive to Survive (like me), this is probably not going to be what you're looking for. But yes, I did finish the whole book so -shrug-
