My Review
I’ve only read one F1 romance before this book so I was excited to see if I like this book and I really did. I’m such a sucker for a fake dating romance and I think this one was done really well. I loved the extra aspect of fake dating in the public eye and really needing to sell it for everyone and not just a few people. The MMC Gio is such a misunderstood character and I loved getting to know who he really was and why he was acting the way he was. It was so clear that he really cares for the people he loves and just wants to do right by them. Maisie was such a complex character with a difficult past. It was nice to see her do something so out of her comfort zone. She really needed the growth and I loved seeing her journey evolve. Gio and Maisie were such a fun couple to root for and I loved reading about their fake dating journey. I rate this book 4/5 stars and recommend it to anyone who likes fake dating, and F1 romances.
And that’s the end of my Lights Out by Jenni Fletcher book review. If you read this book let me know in the comments and if you loved it as much as I did.
