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.
