👌 Fake Dating

🫶 Enemies to Lovers

🎀Cheerleader x 🏀 Basketball Player

This book was such a cliché but in such a good way. I loved the characters and friendships in this book so much. Irene and Honey-Belle though were my favorite characters.

The fake dating trope with a lovely dash of enemies to lovers made it even better. The banter between Scottie and Irene was always amusing.

This is a cute lighthearted read that deals with getting over past relationships and doing things because you want to, and not because you have something to prove. It was lovely!

Release Date: 20, April 2021

It’s cute and fairly unoriginal, the plot was the same as every fake dating trope, but that doesn’t mean it was bad. I liked the characters growth shows that growth isn’t always eventful or easy. If you like unstressful predictable books you should definitely pick this up!

“Before you can worry about who's in your passenger seat, you have to learn to drive yourself.”

I held off on reading She Drives me Crazy because I wasn’t sure I was into sports romance, but I didn’t mind it. I guess I should’ve known it would be fine since I was really into Teen Wolf LOL

I loved the close family vibes. I loved the fact that they have important conversations to work out their feelings and support each other. There was a bit of homophobia in the book, but there was no coming out discourse with either one of the protagonists families.

I loved the small town setting. It was really cute and silly. It’s a good book to read around Christmas time. Religious faith is not really a big part of the story, but Irene and Scottie are both Catholic.

There was a big emphasis on the grief after a breakup, healing from that grief, learning to be yourself again and making up for your toxic behavior. I thought that was very important. No one in the book is perfect but they try to talk things out and learn from their mistakes.

She Drives Me Crazy has the perfect amount of sweet and cheesy moments.

This book does have references to Harry Potter characters in it.
