Lexie James is a counselor at Ruxton, an elite prep school
in Massachusetts. Lexie has spent her life overcoming obstacles caused by her
bizarre mother and father, their financial struggles and general parental
neglect. She made her way to college and grad school through hard work and
perseverance. At 33 years old, Lexie loves her job and her fiancé Peter, a laid
back musician who adores her. Finally having all that she has ever dreamed of -
Lexie could not be happier, until the day she meets Daniel Waite. Daniel is the
handsome, debonair parent of one of her senior students. Suddenly Lexie
questions her upcoming wedding, her sex life and the true meaning of love. Her
confidante Amy, a southern bell that works as the school nurse, is her side
kick helping her navigate this confusing time. This story is laugh out loud
funny, touching and (most likely) completely possible, which is both funny and
sad. Author Jessica Anya Blau writes with such straight forward wit and humor,
her characters say all the things people think but never say out loud. I should
have known after (LOVING!) her first novel, The Summer of Naked Swim Parties,
that I would not be able to put this one down. If you would like to be highly entertained
during your last days of summer, this is for you!!
