“A little sweet, a little sharp.” —Booklist, starred review
High school nemeses fall in love in Kelly Quindlen's She Drives Me Crazy, a queer YA rom com perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Casey McQuiston.
After an embarrassing loss to her ex-girlfriend in their first basketball game of the season, seventeen-year-old Scottie Zajac gets into a fender bender with the worst possible person: her nemesis, Irene Abraham, head cheerleader for the Fighting Reindeer.
Irene is as mean as she is beautiful, so Scottie makes a point to keep her distance. When the accident sends Irene’s car to the shop for weeks’ worth of repairs and the girls are forced to carpool, their rocky start only gets bumpier.
But when an opportunity arises for Scottie to get back at her toxic ex—and climb her school’s social ladder—she bribes Irene into an elaborate fake- dating scheme that threatens to reveal some very real feelings.
From author Kelly Quindlen comes a new laugh-out-loud romp through the ups and downs of teen romance, perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli.
Eine Enemies-to-Lovers-Story zum Dahinschmelzen, herrlich romantisch und klug!
Kein guter Tag für Basketballerin Scottie: Erst verliert sie beim Saisonauftakt haushoch gegen das Team ihrer Ex. Dann rammt sie das Auto ihrer Erzfeindin Irene und muss die Cheerleading-Queen ab jetzt zur Schule kutschieren. Absolutes Desaster! Doch ausgerechnet durch den Fahrdienst kommt Scottie auf eine Idee, wie sie ihrer toxischen Ex eins auswischen und ihr eigenes Standing verbessern kann. Sie bringt Irene dazu, sich als ihre neue Freundin auszugeben. Der verrückte Fake-Dating-Plan funktioniert überraschend gut – bis es zwischen den beiden wirklich knistert und ihre Gefühle für jede Menge Chaos sorgen.
