Allie Dodgson is an undergrad who steals a Wonder Bread bag
full of coke
from her employer and then drives down I-5 to LA to sell it.
You can't
imagine what happens next. Allie's story is so unbelievable
that you will be
wrapped up in her life and crazy ride, you will not be able
to put THE
WONDER BREAD SUMMER down. I started reading her story on a
Sunday morning and by the afternoon I had finished reading
and had this
huge smile on my face!
Allie is flat broke and her tuition is due. If she doesn't
come up with a huge
amount of money in the next few days, she will be kicked out
of college.
Allie's boss, Jonas owes her two months worth of pay and
wants to pay her
now with cocaine. When Allie refuses to do what Jonas
wants, she runs
out of the shop she is working at but not before grabbing a
Wonder Bread
bag filled with pure cocaine. Here is where things get
crazy and the people
Allie meets along the way are just mind blowing.
Throughout THE WONDER BREAD SUMMER , Allie is faced with
some
pretty bizarre and extremely hilarious and crazy situations.
She eats dinner
with a paraplegic porn producer who turns out to be very
nice and even
helps her later on. She meets Billy Idol - and sleeps with
him more than
once. Her best friend is held hostage over the missing coke.
As her
situation worsens, though, the story becomes more and more
funny. I found
myself cheering for Allie along the way and was taken with
the way Allie
grew stronger and stronger every minute.
A funny, wild and joyful trip back to 1983. THE WONDER
BREAD
SUMMER centers around a bread bag filled with cocaine and
yet, it is
sweet and hilarious. I was instantly caught up in Allie's
life and found
myself laughing up loud at the situations she found herself
in.
Jessica Anya Blau has done a fantastic job creating another
summer story
for many to enjoy. She is a new author for me, and I will
definitely be
reading her other books, Drinking Closer to Home and The
Summer of
Naked Swim Parties, I now know why she is a Bestseller. I
love how fast
paced her writing is. I found myself flipping through the
pages so fast...I
just had to know what happened to Allie and if her Dad was
going to come
through for her.
Jessica Anya Blau, author of The Summer of Naked Swim
Parties, delivers another darkly hilarious, heartbreaking
coming-of-age novel with Wonder Bread Summer.
In The Wonder Bread Summer, loosely based on Alice in
Wonderland, 20-year-old Allie Dodgson has adventures that
rival those Alice had down the rabbit hole. Or those of
Weeds’ Nancy Botwin.
Allison is working at a dress shop to help pay for college.
The dress shop turns out to be a front for drug dealers. And

cocaine.
With a hit man after her, Allison wants the help of her
parents. But there’s a problem: Her mom took off when
Allison was eight; her dad moves so often Allison that
doesn’t even have his phone number…
