Review:Drive Me Crazy by Carly Robyn blew me away with its humor, heart, and heat. Iโm newer to rom-com (Romantic Comedy) and after reading quite a few of them, I totally think that this one shines above.Full disclosure, I know the author quite well. Sheโs my daughter; but itโs the honest truth when I say I loved the heck out of this book. I was literally laughing out loud at some points and fell hard in love with Blake, the broody Brit, and Ella, the relatable journalist who could be my BFF.The pacing of the story was spot on as I fell into the fast-paced life of an F1 driver, and the toll racing takes on both their minds and bodies. I appreciated the slow burn to the ultimately spicy and steamy romance. It made the wait and tension totally worth the wait! For me, smart conversation and good banter can make or break a book. This one had so much wit and humor that Iโd be happy with that alone.The settings in this book take the reader all around Europe which makes for great escapes. Ella, who hails from Chicago before moving to New York, offers many local references which I loved.On top of the heart, humor and heat, there are also some serious issues woven through the book such a loss of a parent, mental illness, and sexual abuse. These issues are presented with sensitivity and care.Bottom line, if youโre looking for a book to make you laugh with a good dollop of spice, pick this one up. Readers are all saying they canโt wait for the second in the series.@carlyrobynauthor ๐Have you ever watched an Formula One race? OR Favorite trope in rom-coms? ... See MoreSee Less
