I enjoyed this, but it was a bit of a struggle to concentrate on it. The pacing is a bit frustrating - the first 50% of the book leading up the the bike race is basically just Muriel going back and forth between finding excuses to hate Kit and being self-conscious, which got really tedious really fast. Once the actual bike race started I got more invested in the story and finally started to enjoy myself. There was even a spot or two that got a laugh out of me, and I enjoyed the side characters (James, Ponsonby, and the Mutton Chop Riders - those names might be wrong but I am writing this review a week after I finished the book, sorry) a lot.
