ABOUT
Lilah, a documentary filmmaker, is pursued by an F1 brand to make a documentary for and about them, but she is less than enthusiastic and feels like this is selling out.
Reserve driver Arthur is locked into an awful contract and working in the shadow of his Uncle, a former F1 star.
The unhappy duo end up paired together specifically to film training footage. Unbeknownst to anyone else, they instead devise a plan of mutually beneficial revenge.
This story has travel, tension, relatable and unrelatable characters, and a few tear jerking moments.
REVIEW
Slipstream is such a fun experience. I don’t consider myself someone particularly drawn to sports romances, but the way F1 is lightly explained and mostly atmospheric in this book was perfect.
I really loved the portrayal of living with ADHD that we get with our FMC Lilah. She was incredibly relatable to me in multiple ways, but the descriptions of how ADHD impacts her, her interactions, and her relationships was so nice to read. I felt seen.
Last but not least I really adored the slow burn!! I think this book is very re-readable and it has me interested in F1!
