Character, Driven by David Lubar

5.0

This book is adorable. I have to give the main character, Cliff, so much cred for acting like a believable human being and also being self-aware to an astonishing degree. I am so fed up with white male YA protagonists who are sexist, who romanticize mental illness, blah blah blah (looking at you, John Green, bitch!) but Cliff is a breath of fresh air just by actively trying not to be those things! He actually catches himself when he obsesses over a girl he doesn't even know and learns to treat and value her as a friend! What a wonderful lesson for a YA novel. Love it. Also, the book is hilarious.
