( ) Because Jessica Anya Blau writes beautifully I've given this book 3.5 stars. The story itself probably doesn't rate that high. It was a little boring at times, somewhat trite, and ended rather disappointingly, but it did have compelling elements. The main character is a young woman from a less-than-ideal background who has worked hard to overcome her past by acquiring higher education and landing a job miles away from home in an elite boarding school as a high school counselor. She is dedicated, talented, and seemingly popular among her students and colleagues, and has carved out a comfortable life for herself that includes good friends and a fiance. But the normalcy and stability she's achieved -- and craved since childhood -- may not be as satisfying as she suspected, or maybe someone with such inauspicious origins is not equipped to sustain them. Or maybe these are the excuses a person conjures in order to grant oneself permission to jump off the deep end. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"From the beloved author of The Summer of Naked Swim Parties and The Wonder Bread Summer comes the jaw-dropping story of Lexie James, a counselor at an exclusive New England prep school, whose search for happiness lands her in unexpectedly wild trouble. Lexie James escaped: after being abandoned by her alcoholic father, and kicked out of the apartment to make room for her mother's boyfriend, Lexie made it on her own. She earned a Masters degree, conquered terrifying panic attacks, got engaged to the nicest guy she'd ever met, and landed a counseling job at the prestigious Ruxton Academy, a prep school for the moneyed children of the elite. But as her wedding date nears, Lexie has doubts. Yes, she's created the stable life she craved as a child, but is stability really what she wants? In her moment of indecision, Lexie strikes up a friendship with a Ruxton alumnus, the father of her favorite student. It's a relationship that blows open Lexie's carefully constructed life, and then dunks her into shocking situations with headline-worthy trouble. The perfect cocktail of naughtiness, heart, adventure and humor, The Trouble with Lexie is a wild and poignant story of the choices we make to outrun our childhoods--and the choices we have to make to outrun our entangled adult lives"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
