She Drives Me Crazy

*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

Things are never easy when love is involved, and Quindlen (Late to the Party) offers a queer refresh of multiple romance genre standbys: enemies to friends (Irene once had Scottie's car towed), fake dating, sports romance, and surmounting a broken heart. Add in a supportive family whose members actually like each other, and the result is a satisfyingly feminist rom-com mash-up.--Publishers Weekly
