Summary
"Seventeen-year-old Leti Rivera dreams of becoming a famous female street racer. Her brother taught her how to drive so fast that nothing can catch her. But when Jacob Fleckenstein crashes into her life, Leti starts to think that running isn't always the answer. Together inside her car, they both feel like they're flying, and Jacob's gentleness and honesty threaten Leti's vow to keep her heart tight in her fist and her grief locked away. Yet after tragedy strikes following a race, Leti blames herself and swears an oath, a juramento, to give up driving. But will she be able to keep her promise when racing could be the very thing that saves Jacob... and herself?" --
