The Wonder Bread Summer
The Wonder Bread Summer | Jessica Anya Blau
3 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
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 Allison ends up on the runwith a Wonder Bread bag full of cocaine. With a hit man after her, Allison wants the help of her parents. But theres a problem: Her mom took off when Allison was eight; her dad moves so often Allison that doesnt even have his phone number. Set in 1980s California, The Wonder Bread Summer is a wickedly funny and fresh caper thats sure to please fans of Christopher Moore, Carl Hiaasen, and Marcy Dermansky.

I read this book Feb 2 & I gave it 1.5 ⭐️. This book is so problematic- and for the record I hate that term. This book sucked in so many ways. Some issues could have been resolved with simple fact checking - ie characters reading a magazine in 1983 that didn‘t come out til ‘88. And by making the main character white. Do not recommend.

This book was a fun summer read for me. The main characters antics alone made this crazy! She steals a bag of cocaine to pay for her college tuition - who does that?!?!
