《午夜一起去兜风》介绍的主要内容是：高中生卡莉课余时间一直在小超市勤恳打工，希望有一天能接回被遣返墨西哥的家人。为此，背负重任的卡莉没日没夜地拼命攒钱，几乎成了生活的“奴隶”。摩斯警长竭力掩盖“家丑”，警长之子雅登对父亲失望透顶，决定毁掉目己，毁掉家人“望子成龙“的期望。他的叛逆乖张越来越偏激，甚至渐渐迷失了自己的秉性。
卡莉所做的一切都是为了实现家人的期望，而雅登所做的一切是为了毁掉家人的期望。当两颗年轻的心发生碰撞，一个巨大的困惑随之而来：我到底在为谁而活着？任无数个恣意兜风的午夜，他们似乎渐渐找到了各自的答案……

Who says opposites don't attract?
It's been several years since Carly Vega's parents were deported. Carly lives with her older brother, studies hard, and works the graveyard shift at a convenience store to earn enough to bring her parents back from Mexico.
Arden Moss used to be the star quarterback at school. He used to date popular blondes and have fun pranking with his older sister. But now all that's changed, and Arden needs a new accomplice. Especially one his father, the town sheriff, will disapprove.
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 9 Up—Good girl Carly and popular Arden combine forces in order to live more authentic lives in this angsty contemporary novel. Carly's parents have been deported to Mexico and she works nights to support her family. Arden uses his bad-boy reputation to pull off grand, sometimes disastrous pranks to salve the pain of his sister's death. Carly is not Arden's type, at first—and Carly knows she is too busy to bother with him. Eager to escape the iron fist of his sheriff father, Arden grows closer to Carly after an unexpected encounter. Together they realize Arden's father's true intentions and work in concert to bring him to justice. With a dash of romance, Banks's book tackles the issues of human smuggling, immigration, and a rogue police officer. It could be too much for any young adult novel, but buoyed by irresistible characters, sincere dialogue, and robust prose, this is one ride readers will all want to take. Fans of Sarah Dessen and Deb Caletti will flock to the author's fan pool. VERDICT Relevant, risky, and romantic, this work is a clear standout in today's contemporary YA niche.—Amanda C. Buschmann, Atascocita Middle School, Humble, TX

“Banks respects her readers by penning an engaging narrative that deepens her central love story... As Carly and Arden open themselves to love and draw closer together, the book's message comes through loud and clear: personal growth can lead us toward unlikely destinies.” ―Booklist
“Writing in the present tense and switching between first-person for Carly and third-person for Arden, Banks offers a book brimming with original humor and mostly complex characterization even as she tackles race and immigration issues. Both a heart-stopper and heart-tugger.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“...[has] a great deal of charm.” ―Publishers Weekly on Syrena Legacy
“…intriguing…” ―School Library Journal on Syrena Legacy
“A refreshing story filled with vibrant characters, feisty humor, and an irresistible romance. This story of star-crossed lovers in a luscious coastal setting brings new life to the age-old myth of merfolk and left me swooning for more!” ―Marissa Meyer, New York Times–bestselling author of Cinder on Syrena Legacy
