Romantik
The delightful romantic comedy—now an award-winning feature film. The debut novel from the bestselling author of The Spoon Stealer.
Filled with heartache without being maudlin, this contemporary novel about life and love in a small town debuts Lesley Crewe, an original new literary voice. Lesley’s writing is fresh and funny, and her portrayal of Lexie’s strong and wry spirit in the face of adversity is unwaveringly authentic. Not since Bridget Jones has a heroine been so well drawn and so totally lovable—hang-ups, insecurities, annoying mother and all.
In creating Lexie, her sprawling extended family, and their community, Lesley Crewe brings an east-coast flavored humor to her work—that teasing, biting, whip-smart style that simultaneously stings and tickles. With her charming combination of hometown warmth and savoir-faire, Lesley is sure to entertain and inspire her audience, who will do well to sit up and pay attention to this rising star of mainstream women’s fiction.
