Review: DEVASTATINGLY STUNNING & UNFORGETTABLE!! - This soul crushing, heart stopping, mind blowing love story that took over my entire world for 18 hours yet will live on with me for all of my days. I already know that there is NOTHING that I can say in this review that will do this book or the characters justice! These characters and their story will embed itself into your soul right from the start. You will be helpless, you won't be able to stop the smile from reaching your face. Stella Emerson was a beautiful soul, a force to be reckoned with and I'll swear until the end of my days that every single thing she touched turned to gold. She had me in tears both from laughter and heartbreak but her free spirit and intense dedication to love will always be how I remember her. I won't talk about the guys because dang it Kate...how did you make me fall in love with two men in the span of 385 pages? Only thing I'll say is I couldn't even hate either of them...I think that's why it hurt so bad. In my mind, heart and soul there was no villain. I have so much to say and at the same time I don't know what to say that will convey how devastatingly brilliant this book was. Drive has been on my TBR for over two years!!!! I was 100% sure that I was going to read it, so confident that I bought the paperback last year! I've read so many of Kate's books both before and during that time but this one I kept sliding to the side because to be honest, I was scared. If you follow me at all you know I live for emotional books but I'd been told by many that this book was going to wreck my world. THEY WERE RIGHT!! But I really do regret waiting so long to read it! If I could go back, knowing then what I know now I wouldn't have hesitated for even a split second. I would have binged this book so fast! THE PLAYLIST!!! I LOVE BOOK PLAYLISTS! When done right, they are just a fantastic companion to a great book. Listening to the Drive playlist in between reading the book doesn't just complete it, but also turned this into an extraordinary reading experience!!! One that is so memorable that years from now I'll be driving... listening to music and one of THOSE SONGS will come on....then everything will just play back right inside my mind. I know I'll be utterly helpless to the emotions that accompany the memories that Kate Stewart has stitched to these songs! And when that day comes...every time it happens; I am absolutely positive that I'll end up in tears because at this moment I can't ever imagine a time when their pain and love won't still feel fresh! But then I'll smile because at the end of the day it'll remind me of one of the most beautiful love stories and some of the most incredible characters I've ever read! My recommendation is to not leave 2021 (or whatever year it currently is) with this book on your TBR or unread. I've read a lot of KS books and this is the 4th book that THIS author has on my FOREVER FAVORITES shelf. That shelf is a very exclusive list that I am very particular about what goes on it! Only the unforgettable and most beautiful stories go on that shelf. If you've never read Kate Stewart, go do it now!! I am telling you now, Kate is an absolute treasure in this book world and she is an author that you absolutely do NOT want to sleep on!
Review: 7/29/25- All the Feels! - Drive is an emotional rollercoaster, raw, romantic, and unforgettable. Stella’s journey of love, music, and self-discovery is powerful and beautifully written. With perfectly timed angst, heart-stopping romance, and a love triangle that will tear you in two, this story grabs hold and doesn’t let go. Reid and Nate both left their mark, but it’s Stella who truly shines. A breathtaking, music-laced love story that will leave your heart aching in the best way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars is not enough for this book!!
*by D***C on October 15, 2017*

Drive by Kate Stewart 5 stars!!! “You have to wait one minute past desperation...” To be honest, 5 stars is not enough for this book. Out of the thousands and thousands of books I have read I have two all-time favourites that I recommend to anyone who will listen. These two books have been on that list for a long time with no stand out books that have deserved to match them…until now. I have read this book three times already, three times this book has destroyed me and each time of reading, despite knowing what is coming, it hurt just as much as the first. That is testament to this authors innate ability to master emotion. With a Kate Stewart read you experience everything, she immerses you into the lives of her characters so naturally and absolutely that when they hurt, you hurt. You take her characters into your heart and soul, you live and breathe their love, their pain, their highs and their lows, they smile you smile, they love you love. I experienced this like life itself, it felt real, and despite the many highs, the lows hurt like a beetch. “You can’t go beating up everyone that pisses you off. Use your words, I promise you they are much better weapons. But be careful with them because bruises heal.” For me, this was one of those EPIC reads. One of those reads that you will remember for a lifetime, a book that I will read time and time again and one that will never age. I know I am harping on about the tears I spilled, but for me, emotion is everything. I am an emotional reader, I have to live and breathe a book to truly connect with the characters and when a book truly destroys me, the way that this book did, it deserves ALL the PRAISE. I am trying to convey just how special this book was. This book is one of my unicorns, I am now the proud owner of three. “Even in hindsight, with all your mistakes disappearing in the distance, the things you got right are right alongside them. I’d made the mistake in only looking for the hurt…” Drive is an epic journey of self-discovery, life lessons, love lessons and everything else in between. Music plays a huge part in this book, for all the characters, and if you experience this book the interactive way, by clicking on the music link on each chapter heading you will only fall deeper into the Kate Stewart abyss and truly experience this book heart, mind, body and soul. The balance and flow of this book was PERFECT. Angst in spades, but more importantly heat and passion, laughs, a lot of love and that all-encompassing emotion. “Welcome to adulthood…It effing sucks here.” This book was captivating from start to finish as you live Stella’s life as she tries to find her place in the world. We start in the present but Kate Stewart soon takes us back to how Stella, became Stella. Stella was a journalist and her specialty was music. Her father in particular had born her love of music and music was her blood, her life line, her de-stress, her true love. Stella wasn’t Stella without her music. Along her travels, making her mark and discovering new talent we also follow Stella’s love life which is full of highs and lows and this is where Kate Stewart comes into her own. Kate Stewart always writes fantastic hero’s and with Drive there is more than one to choose from and I dare anybody not to fall in love with them both. This is not a love triangle per se, there is no cheating, just one heck of an all-encompassing love story, that will have your heart beating a mile minute, the tears plentiful and the highs far outweighing the lows. “When it came to the men in my life, my emotions were my kryptonite, and so was my indecision.” Stella was an amazing heroine, it is rare for me to love a heroine as much as the hero but with Stella she wore her heart on her sleeve, she was an open book, opinionated, sassy but vulnerable with her charming personality a mask for the naïve and fearful woman underneath. As this book progresses though you witness Stella’s metamorphosis to the strong, independent, yet still extremely lovable woman she becomes. Her journey was tough and hard fought, there were no winners and losers, Kate Stewart brought this book to a close perfectly. “Because music is the heart’s greatest librarian. A few notes had the ability to transport me back in time, and to the most painful places.” As I said above, this is more than a book, it is an experience, like a movie that you are watching in glorious technicolour. It will infuriate you, it will make you laugh, it will make you cry, but at the end, even though you will be physically and emotionally exhausted you can only look back in stunned silence and wonder what the hell you had just read. This is by far my favourite Kate Stewart book. This author truly outdid herself with one hell of a memorable book, one that as I said before I will read time and time again. This is a slow burn, as Kate Stewart sets the scene, but once this book comes into its own around the 40% mark there is no going back. Captivating and unputdownable this is definitely a book you should read with a glass of wine, a huge bar of chocolate and a box of Kleenex, especially if you are a soft sap like me. “Money used to be the whole effing problem and now it can’t solve anything.” I could harp on about this book forever, but then it will just be boring, so all I am going to say is READ IT. Experience this as the author intended, go in blind and live, breathe and feel this book, it is truly AMAZING!! “I used to think I was cursed for having fallen in love with two men. But, in hindsight, I realized what a gift it was. They were my lovers, my teachers, my best friends, and I would love them both until I took my last breath.”
