Description

Lex is seventeen.

But being seventeen is a rollercoaster ride, and Lex is about to run into trouble.

If he survives the humiliation of his final summer in his hometown, he is determined to go out with a bang.

And he will, but it might not be quite what he had in mind.

This coming-of-age novel will make you remember everything about your teens - the good, the bad, the embarrassing ... and the very ugly!

'Lex is as warm, funny, evocative and toe-curlingly accurate a portrait of small-town adolescence as I have had the pleasure to read' Christopher Brookmyre. * Christopher Brookmyre *
'Full of toe-curling teen mishaps, it's wise beyond its protagonist's years' Daily Mail. * Daily Mail *
'Fresh, fast paced and funny, with a touch of poignancy. I loved it' Irish Examiner. * Irish Examiner *
'Mylet's debut provides likeable banter, replete with furious expletives and some sombre coming-of-age moments' Guardian. * Guardian *
