Lex

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!

Review: '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. '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. 'Fresh, fast paced and funny, with a touch of poignancy. I loved it' Irish Examiner. 'Full of toe-curling teen mishaps, it's wise beyond its protagonist's years' Daily Mail. 'Mylet's debut provides likeable banter, replete with furious expletives and some sombre coming-of-age moments' Guardian.
