A sweet sapphic romance with the best tropes; fake dating and enemies to lovers, set in an idyllic town gives She Drives Me Crazy a campy 90s romance vibe that I love.
Scottie is still dealing with a bad break-up when a fender bender with head cheerleader Irene forces them to carpool. Desperate to bring more attention to the girls basketball team, Scottie makes a deal with Irene to pretend to date, and bring the cheerleaders to their games. (Of course chaos ensues!)
Fun characters, messy moments, and a sweet romance all add up to a fantastic experience. I love how supportive Scottie's family and friends are. The banter her and Irene had was top notch, and such a great enemies to lovers relationship. (Listen enemies to lovers doesn't work unless they hate each other okay!)
This was just such a sweet, campy, fun read. It's not a "omg 5 stars literary masterpiece", but it is a book that I had such a fun time reading.
If you are looking for a sapphic sports romance, this is perfect for you! I will definitely be checking out other books by the author.

THIS BOOK NEEDS TO BE MADE INTO A ROM COM MOVIE PLS.
It was such a light and cute read, and it exceeded all my expectations. Other than Irene's character in general, my favorite part would definitely have to be Scottie's character development.

This was exactly what I wanted from a YA sapphic romance. I thought the enemies to lovers and fake dating tropes were well integrated into the story and I really liked the characters. Although there was a central romance, there were also several other compelling plot threads focusing on family and school and self-esteem. It's not going to be the most memorable of books but I had such a good time while reading.

it felt like i was reading a fanfiction, which should describe how this book will play out.

main character is a loser and a crybaby, too hung up on exes, corny and cringy moments, entertaining but also hard to get thru, i love irene, background characters are amazing (except a few...) and yea!
