If you're a fan of Fast and Furious and YA novels, this is definitely the book for you! Pacton and Podos combine both of those vibes in a creative way in this story, with a cute romance at the center of the book. 

At its core, this is also a coming of age story, where both Jojo and El learn how to adapt to becoming an adult. They are also both dealing with different kinds of grief; Jojo lost her mom and El is trying to find her sister. All of these emotions were dealt with with care, and they really filled out the overall story in the book.

All in all, if you like racing and teen sapphic romance, this is definitely the book for you!
