Drive Me Crazy

One of Bustle’s Most Anticipated Books of Winter 2025-2026

“Drive Me Crazy is fun, fast-paced, and swoon-worthy! I was rooting for Chloe and Matt as they traveled from race to race in the high-stakes world of Formula 1, overcoming obstacles and finding that life-changing love everyone dreams of. Their electric chemistry on and off the track make this the hot F1 romcom you won’t want to miss.” —Annabel Monaghan, New York Times bestselling author of It’s a Love Story

“Lizzy Dent delivers! Drive Me Crazy is a perfect blend of heart, heat, and plot in this fast-paced F1 romance.” —K. Bromberg, New York Times bestselling author of Off the Grid

“Lizzy Dent’s Drive Me Crazy makes pit stops at all my favorite microtropes—painful unrequited childhood crushes, karaoke songs that mask deep feelings, “here let me get your back” sunscreen application—and introduced me to a few new ones. I love the history between Chloe and Matt, who deeply respect each other’s competence on and off the track, but who can’t help but have the hots for each other as they work in such close proximity. Sparks fly between them the whole time, and it got my heart racing for sure!” —Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of The Art of Catching Feelings

“While hockey romances dominated this past year, it’s Formula 1-centered love stories that are set to take over 2026. Among them is Lizzy Dent’s Drive Me Crazy, which tells the story of Chloe Coleman, a newly minted F1 principal (aka the team’s head honcho) who wants to turn her losing team around. It only gets more complicated when a controversial-but-talented driver joins her team—especially because the two have a history. Nothing amps up the stakes like fast cars and old childhood crushes.” —Bustle

“Drive Me Crazy is the sexiest possible introduction to F1 for those who haven’t yet gotten the memo, and it’s sure to please those who are already fans! I was hooked on Matt and Chloe’s chemistry from page one and loved every twist and turn of this fizzy, fun, fast-paced ride. Lizzy Dent delivers everything I love in a sports romance—high stakes, big passion, and underdogs you can’t help but root for—and she grounds it all in layered characters with wounded, yearning hearts. This book is a total triumph!” —Melanie Sweeney, USA Today bestselling author of Take Me Home

“Drive Me Crazy had me laughing out loud and feeling the nerves in the pit of my stomach at every turn. Lizzy Dent serves both a lovable found family and a leading couple to root for. She meshes the thrill of the will-they, won’t-they with equally nail-biting action on the Formula 1 circuit. Chloe—determined, intelligent, and finding her footing in the good ol’ boys’ club that is Formula 1—had my heart immediately. I found myself zooming through Drive Me Crazy in full Grand Prix fashion. In very few situations are you sad to reach the checkered flag, but this was one of them: you won’t want this season with Chloe, Matt, and Arden to end!” —Esha Patel, author of Offtrack

“Drive Me Crazy explodes with heart-racing, romantic sizzle. Readers will root for Chloe’s ambition and Matt’s comeback as Dent pushes the pedal to the floorboards, revving up the sexy tension until the tires smoke. I lapped it up!” —Ilana Long, author of Pickleballers

“Dent (Just One Taste) offers an engaging, fast-paced sports romance with well-developed protagonists.” —Library Journal

“A Formula 1 team principal has to work with a struggling driver who also happens to be her childhood crush…There are enough steamy scenes and hijinks along the way to keep readers entertained. A fun and fast-paced racing romance.”—Kirkus Reviews

“The fast-paced world of Formula 1 provides the backdrop for this competent contemporary from Dent (Just One Taste)…Matt’s and Chloe’s ambition and resilience make them admirable heroes…Devoted sports romance fans are sure to have a good time with this.” —Publishers Weekly
