She Drives Me Crazy

“I want to know she understands how it feels to be falling in new love and bleeding from old love at the same time.” Ch. 13, pg 200 Scottie

Very good and fast read

After getting into a car accident, heartbroken basketball player Scottie Zajac is forced to drive popular Irene to school. Soon after that, the two enemies make a deal to fake date each other in order to each get what they want. Drama and emotions abound as Scottie begins to battle her feelings for both Irene and her toxic ex-girlfriend.

This book was very good.

The Zajac family dynamic was really good and had a healthy relationship. Irene and Scottie's relationship was really cute and it was nice to see them grow feelings for each other, although I did hate that Irene was forced to come out to the school, but at least she was okay with it.

I just felt like I didn't like Scottie at times. I felt like she went too far sometimes and has horrible pep talks with her friend, Danielle. Come to think of it, I didn't like her sister Thora at times either, as Scottie said, she was very judgemental and didn't really listen to her feelings. I was so glad when Scottie called her out on that.

But yeah this was very emotional, Scottie feelins are very layed out, but not too emotional to where it bogs down the story. Very good and quick read.

OTHER GOOOD QUOTES FROM BOOK:

“Oh come on. AP European History? A class where you literally study how white people fucked up the world with the Crusades and colonization and smallpox? Yet there's no room in the budget to offer Asian or African History? Yeah, no. If that's the pinnacle of academic study our school has to offer, I'll fucking pass. Say what you want about Ms. Bowles's ‘regular track' modern history class, but she makes a point of dismantling the whole European hegemony thing, and that's a much better use of my time.” -Ch 3, pg 37 Irene

“I smile. We lean our foreheads together, breathing. “I want to get to a place where I'm ready for you,” I whisper. “Just get to a place where you know how wonderful you are,” she whispers back. “They're one and the same.” -Ch. 16, pg 248 Irene

“Because before you can worry about who's in your passenger seat, you have to learn to drive yourself.” -Ch 16, pg 249 Scottie

“I've been falling for you since the second you hit my car,” I tell her, my voice shaking. “You are the most brilliant, passionate, infuriating person I've ever met. You make me feel seen.” -Ch. 18, 280 Scottie
