¿ BOOKLIFE REVIEWS EDITOR'S PICK ¿ KIRKUS REVIEWS "GET IT" ¿ READERS' FAVORITE FIVE-STARS Witty, Defiant Oscar Tells a Heartbreakingly Relatable Intergenerational Story about a Misunderstood, Mistake-Riddled Boy Looking for Acceptance & Purpose in Modern America. It's Dark Humor, Raw Emotions, and a Messy Teenage Existential Crisis Praised as an Intimate Portrait of a Modern-day Holden Caulfield, Worthy to Join the Pantheon of Unforgettable Literary Characters. If you fell for Charlie Kelmeckis in The Perks of Being a Wallflower or Theodore Finch in All the Bright Places or Sutter Keeley in The Spectacular Now, Promising Young Man's Oscar Danielsson will melt, break, and then repair your heart. Oscar Danielsson isn't ready for the real world-yet. But he's 18 now, and everyone's got expectations. Why not? With his sharp wit and melancholy good looks, his future's as promising as anybody's. Lie. He's not like anybody. He'll take his bedroom over hanging out. Self-medication over whatever his shrink prescribes for his ADHD. And it's hard enough to get out of bed in the morning, let alone write a stupid paper in time to graduate from high school. If it wasn't for his old spaniel, Enzo, he's not sure he'd even want to stick around. Just when he meets Bette, a scrape with the law Oscar's too out of it to remember sends him blasting down America's highways with his eccentric Grammy. Leaving Bette, Enzo, and all his vices behind is torture but if they make good time, he can repay his debts to his boss, snag his diploma, and slip back into bed like nothing ever happened. Another lie. "Axel's writing crackles with energy and hard-won insight, capturing Oscar's inner monologue in a way that feels both authentic and deeply relatable." - BookLife Reviews (Editor's Pick) "Books like Promising Young Man should be on school curricula." - Readers' Favorite (Five Stars) "Many young readers will readily identify with the young protagonist, who, deep down, underneath his wiseacre façade, simply wants to be accepted and loved. It's a deft portrait that sidesteps stereotypes with sensitivity and skill, and, for many, it will strike a strong chord." - Kirkus Reviews ("Get it") "I love this book." - Jill Wine-Banks, author, The Watergate Girl; MSNBC legal analyst; co-host, Webby-winning #SistersinLaw Podcast "Axel is a natural... writes with a flow and energy that is absolutely compelling." - Emmy Award-winning writer Chris Canaan (Walker, Texas Ranger; No Good Deed; Drug Wars) "With its candid, absorbing, and often witty intergenerational plot, Promising Young Man is truly enjoyable and will appeal to readers of all ages." - Sarah C. Maza, Member American Academy of Arts & Sciences, Professor of History Emerita Northwestern University "At times funny, at times raw, at times so poignant you'll find yourself tearing up..." - Maggie Smith, award-winning author of Truth and Other Lies and Blindspot "... a damn good read." - Dr. David George, Ph.D., Professor of Modern Languages Emeritus, Lake Forest College Will appeal to fans ofJennifer Niven & Jandy Nelson and those who enjoy coming of age contemporary realistic fiction with elements of dark humor and Americana.
