Kelly Quindlen's writing is super addictive and fun to read! As soon as I started reading She Drives Me Crazy, I knew I was going to love it! While it did not become one of my all-time favorite books, it definitely will for many others! The only thing that I didn't really enjoy was all of the excessive drama and I would have loved for it to have been a bit longer, or at least long enough so that I could have gotten to connect with some of the side characters more because they seemed super interesting and I would have loved to explore their characters more. But nonetheless! I had a lot of fun reading this! I laughed and teared up and was rooting for the two main characters to get together!
Highly recommend if you are looking for a quick, fun, and adorable sapphic romance!
Thank you to the publishers and Netgalley for providing me an eARC in exchange for an honest review!

This is the enemies to lovers + fake dating sapphic romance we deserve.

As far as sapphic YA books go, this is one of the best! It was fun and I loved the dynamic between the main characters. I enjoyed the fact that they were flawed and needed to work on themselves in order to be ready for a relationship. There’s a lot of maturity to this story that I think more young people should be exposed to - how to handle first love, how to deal with heartbreak, and how to rebuild.

I appreciate that the author really gave both characters complex personalities and it was a fun breezy read but I wanted a little more connection and relationship building than we got. Scottie was also (to put it kindly) hard to empathize with almost all the time because of how much of a clown she consistently was.

Very cute. Definitely could have been longer for more development, but still very cute.
Narration was amazing! Would recommend to any queer teen.

Thank you to NetGalley and Roaring Brook Press for the ARC of this book! All thoughts are my own.
My gay heart is SOARING right now. Oh my word. This was so cute, sweet, funny and heart warming I can not take it. I am in love with this book. I’ve never read a fake dating book about sporty lesbians but not that I have I need more. This was perfectly crafted and I loved it so much.
True rating: 4.5/5
I can’t not even begin to explain how much I loved Scottie and her fantastically crafted character arc. Her ability to become herself again was so wholesome. Irene is probably one of my favorite love interests I’ve ever read. I can’t get over it. How cute this was. The plot was well done. The writing was stellar. I loved seeing a group of friends like Scottie’s. Danielle, Kevin and Gunther were so supportive and loving. As were Scottie’s sisters. What a beautiful story. If you want a heartwarming, emotional, coming of age sapphic story- please pick this up. You won’t regret it. I mean ATHLETICS GAYS!! FAKE DATING!! What more could you want?
