Negative Positive
Title: Charming, funny and comforting
Review: Amy Fine Collins manages a perfect blend of self-deprecation, wit and adventure to tell this very personal and incredibly entertaining story of overcoming the all to common but little discussed fear so many Manhattanites have of driving. She demonstrates a particular gift for sketching characters, from the deeply mysterious driving instructor Attila to her own dichotomous personality- a Park Avenue PhD with equal parts anxiety and sophistication all packaged in a statuesque, couture-clad former model. Fine Collins dispenses with the naval gazing pablum that frequently plagues memoirs and instead offers up a clipped, engaging vignette that encourages and delights. She is an underrated humorist.
