I also liked Irene despite Scottie’s biased depiction of her at the beginning. I mean, teenagers can be kind of awful, especially teenage girls-I know, I was one.

And although there were moments I found myself disliking her, I think those moments made her a more realistic character. She’s close with her family, kind and supportive of her friends, dedicated to her team, and proud of her hometown. So, Scottie does what any logical person would do (right?), bribe Irene to date her to get back at Tally and have a better shot at winning the basketball championship. They’re forced to carpool until Irene’s car gets fixed, which skyrockets Scottie’s and her basketball team’s popularity and makes Tally jealous. After losing to Tally’s team at her new school, Scottie gets into a fender bender with Irene, a cheerleader, and Scottie’s enemy because of another car-related incident the year prior. The story follows Scottie, a high-school senior (described as a “gay Ginny Weasley” at one point, which is an absolutely hysterical descriptor) on the women’s basketball team still reeling from the breakup with her ex-girlfriend Tally. Kelly Quindlen makes it clear that the animosity between Scottie and Irene is the first one, which is one of the things that made this book so enjoyable to read. But She Drives Me Crazy is definitely a hit. The line between two people with a rivalry based on misunderstanding and two people toxically bullying each other is a fine one (especially when it comes to high schoolers). Enemies to lovers can always be a little scary to read because it’s either a hit or a big ol’ miss.
