A review by poachedeggs
Notes from the Midnight Driver by Jordan Sonnenblick
4.0
This was unashamedly a 'feel-good' young adult novel, and it got me thinking why some feel-good stories make one want to throw up or roll one's eyes, while a few precious others can be so wonderful.
I think it's how Sonnenblick undercuts the tragedy with snarky humour, how his protagnist Alex Gregory is convincingly portrayed as a bit of an insensitive blockhead. The best kind of tears comes with rueful laughter.
