It's so exciting when two authors you enjoy team up to write a book together! I've really loved Rebecca Podos's and Jamie Pacton's respective books in the past and was excited when they announced they were coming out with a YA novel together. And I'm happy to report that it did not disappoint.
This sapphic YA romance does what the best romances do: it delivers a swoony love story while also offering satisfying personal story arcs for each character. The romance between El and Jojo was sweet, but there's also a lot of depth as Jojo grieves her mother and El searches for her older sister. I was rooting for both of them from the beginning!
Since "Furious" involves racing--both cars and motorcycles--there are A LOT of references to "Fast & Furious" movies which I worry might turn off some readers if they're not into that series, but I found it endearing.
Overall, I really liked this one and hope to see Rebecca and Jamie team up to write more together!
