Notes from the Midnight Driver by Jordan Sonnenblick
4.0
Alex is sentenced to community service at the local retirement home after his one and only drunken car drive ends in garden gnome homicide. Sentenced to spend time with Solomon Lewis, a crotchety old resident Alex learns to curse in Yiddish, play a mean guitar and a million other life lessons.
This book was fantastic from start to finish. It's filled with memorable, vivid characters that climb into your heart and mind and stay firmly lodged there. While it's a quick read, it's a satisfying one as well. The ending is all-to-predictable, but despite that I was utterly charmed by this little book. I loved Laurie, Alex and Sol - each had such a distinctive voice and character it was like spending time with old friends.
