Huge thank you to Zando/Slowburn for sending me both the digital and physical ARC of Kiss & Collide 💌

Okay okay okay. Let’s get RIGHT into it because this book? This book is a GEM. It’s got tension. It’s got steam. It’s got growth. It’s friends with benefits turning into “it’s always been you” and I am currently screaming into the sky. Amanda, what have you done to me.

Also, fun fact: my TikTok algorithm now thinks I’m a full-time F1 bestie. I have no idea how pit stops work, I panic-watch races and immediately skip to the end, but suddenly I am very into behind-the-scenes drama and driver interviews. Who am I.

Anyway. Let’s talk tropes and vibes because this book DELIVERS:

• F1 Driver and PR Manager
• Enemies to Lovers
• He Falls First
• Friends with Benefits
• Opposites Attract
• Stuck Together
• Work Colleagues
• Reverse Grumpy/Sunshine (she’s the grump and I love that for her)
• “I’ve always believed in you” and I melted

This is technically book two in a series, but I jumped right in and had no trouble following along. That said, Zando also sent me book one, so guess what I’m reading next? 👀

If you like burn with a capital B, this one is gonna take you out in the best way.
