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'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.
