“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 Adam Silvera.

Review

*"A little sweet, a little sharp, this romance will resonate with readers looking for an emotional journey."―Booklist, starred review

"A cast of characters you'll fall in love with and a love story you'll be obsessed with―She Drives Me Crazy is one of my favorite rom-coms of the year. Trust me when I say you need this book." ―Leah Johnson, author of You Should See Me in a Crown

"Hilarious and full of heart, with a sizzling romance. SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY nails both the hate to love and fake dating tropes with expert execution. I want to live in this town and be friends with these characters so badly, and I'm deeply sad that I can't."
―Rachael Allen, author of A Taxonomy of Love and The Summer of Impossibilities

"She Drives Me Crazy is the perfect romcom. It’s the kind of romance that is sizzling with chemistry, but still manages to be utterly earnest and heartfelt. A must-read for every romcom fan.” ―Adiba Jaigirdar, author of The Henna Wars

Praise for Late to the Party:

"An absolutely stunning, but also incredibly important novel about best friends and discovering who you are." ―Mason Deaver, bestselling author of I Wish You All the Best

“Perfectly captures the joys and hopes and thrills of being a real, authentic teenager . . . A fantastic read for queer teens today.” ―Kacen Callender, Stonewall and Lambda Award–winning author This Is Kind of an Epic Love Story

“Late to the Party is right on time to being your favorite read. I didn’t want my time with Quindlen’s characters to end.” ―Sara Farizan, Lambda Award–winning author of If You Could Be Mine

"Kelly Quindlen has written a slow-burning, exquisite book well-worth savoring." ―Aminah Mae Safi, author of Tell Me How You Really Feel

"A deeply heartfelt and emotionally honest celebration of late bloomers, queer solidarity, and friendships both old and new. This book has a permanent place in my heart." ―Dahlia Adler, author of Under the Lights.

"A love letter to late bloomers, Late to the Party combines teenage angst with first loves and second chances and emphasises that true friends will always be there for you even as you discover new parts of yourself." ― The Nerd Daily

"Heartfelt and fun, Quindlen’s latest (Her Name in the Sky, 2014) brings together all the angst, excitement, and uncertainty of the teenage years in an LGBTQ+ friendly package. Fans of Becky Albertalli are sure to love this sometimes painfully relatable heroine and her journey of self discovery. Codi Teller may be late to the party, but readers will be happy she showed up." ― Booklist

"Recommended for LGBTQ teens."―School Library Journal

"Quindlen (Her Name in the Sky) deftly conveys both the awkwardness of outgrowing an old life without having a clue how to move toward a new one. ―Publisher Weekly

Easy reacing

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on August 30, 2021

My emotions were up & down when I was reading this book. The emotions were all good but I felt for most of these characters.

I have to say I wasn't a fan of Scootie before her "came to Jesus" moments -she seems so focused on her trobles and emotion she disregarded anyone else. The one thing that bothered me is that she kinda had a hand in Irene coming out to the school and that should be something the individual is completely ready for.

I liked Irene she seemed genuinely an honest and sweet person. she was hurt and was trying to protect herself

anyhow I loved the drama and the journey both these girls went through - they both grew so much with this lie they created.

A classic enemy to lover/fake dating troop. I could see this as a movie that I would watch.

I am happy that it all worked out and I enjoyed reading this book

Swift and sweet

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 29, 2021

A swift, sweet read with a lot of favourite reader tropes: fake dating, enemies to lovers, popular girl sells her social currency to the unpopular girl, a past misunderstanding that leads to unfortunate assumptions, an underdog sports team desperate for a win. I really enjoyed the discourse around grand gestures and how sometimes a hard conversation is more important than a boombox in the rain. I also really liked the love interest and hope that if a book 2 is in the works, the girls swap POVs!

Would make a great movie!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on June 6, 2021

This book is a delightful read. I finished it in one sitting. The font size was big enough and comfortable to read so I was able to get through this book pretty quickly!

She Drives Me Crazy is about Scottie, high school basketball player, who has recently broken up with her ex girlfriend, Tally. She is not over Tally, not by a long shot. When Scottie accidentally hits head cheerleader (and school queen bee) Irene's car in the parking lot, they are forced to carpool for a little while where they found out they might have a lot more in common than they think, and cook up a fake dating scheme to make ex girlfriend Tally jealous.

This book was sweet, it was a little spicy, it was soft and lovely... It was so many things. I loved that throughout the book the scheme became unsettling to both of them for a myriad of reasons, and that instead of assuming the worst, they talked about it.

So much communication. It was beautiful.

Discussion of grief in relationships. Discussion of being a whole person before you enter a relationship because your partner isn't going to complete you. Discussion of loving yourself.

(Scottie needs therapy, but really who doesn't)

This was a nice, sweet book that would make a great movie, if I'm being honest.

C'monnnnnnnn Netflix.

:D

Four stars.

Caraca, quando eu comecei a ler esperava um clichê com nada de diferente, mas acabei quebrando a cara (num ótimo sentido) quando percebi que o livro aborda relacionamentos tóxicos, autoconhecimento e amor próprio e acabei apaixonada por todos os personagens desse livro!!!! Algumas horas amando as principais e na outra desejando que Irene estivesse solteira pra eu namorar ela, porque que mulher é essaaaa!!!!!! Enfim, eu recomendo MUITO esse livro e vocês não vão se arrepender!!!

What more can you want from a quick read. Thoroughly enjoyed the story and loved the characters. Couple of editing mistakes but doesn't take away from the story. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

this book masters the enemies to lovers trope, whilst also taking a look at the potentially more problematic parts of the trope. a great look into being an out, queer teenager in school and the struggles of dating as well.
