From Blake Nelson, a fantastic and topical novel about idealism and finding the ideal girl.
James Hoff likes to rant against America's consumerist culture. He also likes to rant against his ex-girlfriend, Sadie, who he feels isn't doing enough to change the world. But just like he can't avoid buying things, he also can't avoid Sadie for long. This is a fantastic, funny, sexy, cool masterpiece from one of the best YA writers at work today, an anti-consumerist love story that's all about idealism, in both James's relationship with the world and his relationships with the people around him.

Review:
Praise for Destroy All Cars
"James' consideration of 'the lameness of people in general'-which he fairly applies also to himself-gives a nuanced look at why it's hard to change anything in the world but also why it's a noble cause worth striving for." - Los Angeles Times
"This sweet, satisfying read will appeal to fans of Nelson's previous books, and teens who want to change the world- even if the only world they change is their own." - Voice of Youth Advocates
"An elegant and bittersweet story of a teenager who is finding his voice and trying to make meaning in a world he often finds hopeless." - Publishers Weekly
*The New York Times
