But the pure hedonism and debauchery that ensues isn’t exactly what she had in mind, and Eddie soon finds herself torn between her complicated feelings for Rose and her equally complicated dynamic with Nash, whose increasingly bad behavior doesn’t match up to her vision for her literary hero. Lex grew up in Surrey reading a lot of books and making friends with strangers on the internet, and now lives in London. When Eddie receives an invitation to Nash's crumbling Gothic estate in the countryside, promising inspiration (and time to finish her novel, a long-held dream), she eagerly agrees. Lex Croucher is the author of Reputation, Infamous, and the YA novel, Gwen & Art Are Not in Love. Then Eddie meets charming, renowned poet Nash Nicholson––a rival of Lord Byron, if he does say so himself––and he welcomes her into his world of eccentric artists and boundary-breaking visionaries. Why can’t they continue as they always have? But Rose has started talking about marriage, and Eddie is horrified.
Twenty-two-year-old aspiring writer Edith (“Eddie”) Miller and her best friend Rose have always done everything together-from climbing trees and sneaking bottles of wine, to extensive kissing practice. This trailblazing Black writer, a lesbian and the daughter of immigrants, stood unflinchingly at the vanguard of the many interlocking fights for social justice during her lifetime.
Dickinson meets Booksmart with a dash of Little Women in Infamous, a Regency-era romantic comedy with a deliciously feminist twist, from Lex Croucher, the author of Reputation.
