The main couple's relationship is quite healthy, they try to communicate clearly but it seems so forced... Like the author really wanted to portray that but it makes the dialogues and story feel stilted. And it's just boring. There's barely any conflict in it and it seems like the point of conflict shifts every few chapters, like disjointed moments in the character's lives and not a cohesive story. I mean racing is obviously the main catalyst but there are so many things going on at once yet simultaneously there's nothing happening really. I don't feel the stakes at all. And as someone pointed out the brother's behaviours seem contradictory??
