From its Tarantino-esque opening scene to its twisty final pages, THE WONDER BREAD SUMMER is an unrelenting delight., Blau's madcap chase through 1980s L.A. is over-the-top and...a liberal dose of dark humor and an oddly heart-warming ending add to the twisted ride., 'A rollicking, irreverent, sweep of a novel. Blau has written another shining, no-holds barred California heart breaker.' (Deborah Reed, author of Carry Yourself Back To Me), 'This book will make you laugh and cry in public.

(Leora Skolkin-Smith, author of Hystera), Blau has crafted a totally uniqu coming of age story, wrapped in a road trip, with a drug caper center.
