This enemies-to-lovers, fake dating sapphic romance is such a cute, down to earth, finish in one go read. All of the characters are dynamic and well-rounded, having personalities and flaws that make them real and relatable. The subject of getting out of a toxic relationship was handled so well, and the romance that blossomed out of fake dating felt natural and well progressed instead of rushed. Even the characters you’re supposed to hate have moments of genuine raw emotion.
This is such a cute, heartwarming, and funny story that I will read over and over again. Listened to it in audiobook format and can’t wait to buy my own copy!

She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen ⭐️⭐️.5/5
- Scottie starts out her basketball season in the worst possible way. Not only did her team lose to their rivals, she loses to her ex-girlfriend who switched schools. On top of that, after the game she ends up in a fender bender with her nemesis on the cheer team, Irene. This is the second time Irene has messed with her car after towing her car at a party last year. After both their Moms get involved they are forced to car pool while their cars get fixed. Scottie loathes every car ride when dealing with the mean and stuck-up Irene Abraham captain of the cheer squad. After over hearing a predicament Irene is in, unlike herself, Scottie convinces Irene to join her in a fake dating scheme. Can Scottie make her ex-jealous and boost her team’s morale with Irene’s popularity in a slam dunk? Or is this scheme a brick shot to the heart?
- I listened to this book via audiobook for my book club. We were assigned random genres and I got YA romance. I ultimately have decided I need to stop reading YA romance because if isn’t fantasy a lot of the problems that come up are very unrelateable to me as an adult. I did think the supporting characters in this story were cute and the ending was very Easy A. I found the characters a little unbearable and selfish on both sides so it was hard for me to see either of them as genuine and authentic. This is the second time I have read a LGBTQIA+ story with fake dating that included money which I just find so weird and I do not like that trope ultimately. I think coming out stories are vital but when they are overshadowed by financial gain I just find it weird that someone would choose to write it that way. Especially from personal experience and I don’t really think this book was good at fostering positive experiences for coming out, which I think is more important to show in stories than the negative. Overall cute but problematic story!

Solid four stars. Look its teens. Its messy. But it also touches on mental health and how to deal with things like toxic relationships and thats what made this a really great read even for someone older.
i liked this. it was a fun little queer romcom with nice but sometimes annoying characters a great plot and good side stories. I will say the ending was a little bit cringy but other than that it was fine. the only thing that drove me insane is that they refused to say the word lesbian. the only words they used was queer or gay (talking about people who identify as women). It was insufferable. It's not a bad word. It's okay if the characters identify as queer, bi, pan, lesbian, BUT SAY IT. its not a bad word. not staying it is so harmful. anyways other than that it was great and I do truly recommend it.
this is the cutest shit i’ve ever read
why tf is the entire town christmas themed

High school rivals meets the fake dating trope. This was a cute, easily digestible read. The characters were fun and I enjoyed their banter. Jock x cheerleader both navigating pressure and some high school level angst in a very rom-com way.
