Aspiring writer, Edith has never felt marriage was a priority and lives life in a very unconventional way. Story Recap: Rose and Edith (Eddie) are best friends since childhood, they do everything together including practice kissing. No one will worry about social standings or how they will be supported in the future. Infamous by Lex Croucher is a young adult, regency-era, queer love story that made me laugh and I enjoyed. 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. Infamous contains all of the drug abuse, sexual assault, racism, abuse, on-page makeouts leading to off-page sex, and rowdy (and anachronistic) party-hearty behavior of the previous book. 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.

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.
