I didn’t love it at first and almost dnf’d it but when she gets to the camp it starts to pick up pace and brought me back to my theatre camp days.

I now understand why the book is called “She Drives Me Crazy.”  

I liked this book though I did have some problems with the main character in the beginning, she was a little too mean to the love interest imo. But she does grow throughout the book thankfully losing her ‘I’m not like other girls’ air. Overall really enjoyed but I really wished I would have read this in the winter.

It was honestly really smart to put a mystery inside of a mystery. I did guess it was Ward literally on page 18 (subtle flex because I never get these right) and was so set on it being him I didn’t realize there was more to the story until after he got caught. I did put the other pieces together though I did think Becca and Andie switched places, which they didn’t but I was kinda close. But honestly didn’t see the other twist coming. Also Rip Barney, my heart 💔💔💔💔💔

Instead of “He was sunshine I was midnight rain”. It’s ‘He loves to tell stories and she just wants to listen’.
