The Trouble with Lexie

"THE TROUBLE WITH LEXIE is the book you will want to read this summer! Lexie will make you laugh, make you scream, make you grimace--but mostly she will make you fall in love with her." -- Ann Hood "Jessica Anya Blau is one of the funniest writers--EVER. No one captures the oddities, joys--and yes--the pain of modern life with such frankness, humor and sly-witted style." -- ZZ Packer, author of Drinking Coffee Elsewhere "Jessica Anya Blau's Lexie gets into some serious trouble and you'll laugh and cringe as you turn page after page to find out what she'll do next. Wicked, sexy, and sly, this is a wildly entertaining novel." -- Robert Lopez, author of Good People "There isn't a human alive who can resist the charm of Jessica Anya Blau's novels! A coming-of-age tale for the new millennium, THE TROUBLE WITH LEXIE is one of the most deeply enjoyable-and deeply satisfying-novels I've read in ages." -- Joanna Rakoff, author of My Salinger Year "Only Jessica Anya Blau could make such an exasperating woman so funny. And only Blau could combine such guilty pleasures with real world pain." -- Helen Simonson, author of The Summer Before the War "Jessica Anya Blau writes with all-in velocity, vim and vigor, a ripping high-performance performance. She runs rings around the boarding school coming-of-age novel, making her separate peaces in spades." -- Michael Martone, author of Michael Martone and Winesburg, Indiana "When reading THE TROUBLE WITH LEXIE, everything else seems less important. Sleep? Nourishment? Caring about the escaped convict who's loose in your neighborhood? Meh. Far better to soak in Jessica Anya Blau's hilarious and fascinating tale of illicit sex, ill-advised break-ins and stolen vibrators." -- Greg Bardsley, author of The Bob Watson and Cash Out "A crazy and twisted ending ... readers will be gasping by the last page." -- Library Journal
