What to expect

A queer YA romance sizzling with chemistry by Kelly Quindlen, bestselling author of She Drives Me Crazy. Perfect for fans of Lex Croucher and Laura Kay.

When Louisa unexpectedly inherits a struggling gay bar from her late great-uncle, she’s determined to keep it open for the vibrant queer community that calls it home.

Louisa’s mission puts her on a collision course with Aubrey: the pretty, popular, and sharp-tongued daughter of their college town's newly crowned football coach. The girls start off on the wrong foot, but a tentative truce leads to a growing spark . . .

Things threaten to sputter out when the bar faces an existential threat from Aubrey’s dad, who plans to turn it into a sports facility.

How much is Louisa willing to lose in the fight for her new found family?

Critics Review

A little sweet, a little sharp, this romance will resonate with readers looking for an emotional journey.
Booklist, starred review on She Drives Me Crazy
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 on She Drives Me Crazy
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 on She Drives Me Crazy
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 on She Drives Me Crazy
The story thoughtfully explores the confusing emotions of grief and how they affect everyone differently. Louisa’s journey is tender and quietly powerful, and I highly recommend picking up this book.
