Such a sweet, cute story. I've enjoyed Jessica Alter's previous books, and this one was different than I expected.
It was a very quick and polished read.
I really liked the focus on the friendships of the racers, and my favorite character by far was The Hat. IYKYK.
I don't really like to write reviews but there were not many for this little gem and I felt it needed one. If the state of the world right now gets you down, read this book. It was a real pickmeup.
I need some friends like Neekoi and Tank and Nebula in my life.

I loved this book, start to finish.
Hopepunk is very much my escape at the moment, and this book delivered it and then some.
The characters were excellent, and it was a great ride.
