You're Driving Me Wild: A Novel
About this ebook
They say opposites attract, but Brigida Slater and Robbie Weston aren’t so sure. Brigida thinks Robbie is an arrogant, narrow-minded jock and Robbie thinks Brigida is an obnoxious killjoy. They’d be happy to steer clear of each other for the rest of high school, so when they’re thrown together for Driver’s Ed, they don’t expect sparks to fly . . . but they do—literally and figuratively. Brigida and Robbie are, without a doubt, the worst drivers at Wakefield High School. She drives like a frantic lunatic and he can barely muster the courage to move his hands from the ten-and-two positions.
Spending hours trapped in a car with their least favorite person may sound like a nightmare, but it will all be worth it if they can pass their driving tests. Getting a license means freedom—for Brigida, from her hypercritical grandmother, and for Robbie, from the endless humiliation of working on his dad’s get-rich-quick schemes.
Together, Brigida and Robbie learn that first impressions aren’t always what they seem, and sometimes it’s OK to veer outside of your lane.
