But then Scottie and Irene start developing actual feelings for each other…
Review
I absolutely loved this book! It covered topics I didn’t know I loved before reading about them – apparently, I’m a huge sucker for the enemies to lovers high school romance trope. I fell in love with all of the characters and read this book in a few hours.
She Drives Me Crazy explored the range of different teenage experiences. It dealt heavily with heartbreak, which I think everyone can relate to. In the book, Scottie lost herself in her past relationship and is trying to get herself out of it. I don’t think I’ve ever read a YA book that covered this kind of topic, and I really appreciate how the author Kelly Quinden managed to write a YA book with some heavier topics you wouldn’t expect.
I’m literally in love with all the characters in the book. It has amazing friendships and really diverse characters. I loved that there was a vulnerable side to each of the characters, which made me like them even more. After I finished the book, I really wanted to read more about them. Kelly Quinden her writing style was amazing. I read this book so quickly and made me crave more. This book was such an easy and quick read.
I would suggest looking up the trigger warnings of this book before reading it.
Conclusion
A very quick and easy read with lovable and diverse characters. I loved the writing style. She Drives Me Crazy covered some topics which I hadn’t read before.
