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!'A funny and charming story set in one of my favourite places in the world. And it was a great relief to discover it wasn't just me who felt like that at seventeen' John O'Farrell. * John O'Farrell *
