Jax, a magazine model, has had half her face destroyed in a bomb blast. Drowning in whiskey and self-loathing, she must rebuild her life now that her beauty is gone. Part love letter to New York, part social justice commentary, Moxie is a timely and raw portrayal of the sometimes self-destructive search for identity and redemption.

Industry Reviews

"Poppe's writing is brisk, raw, and unflinching..." - Booklist

"I tore through Moxie. Alex Poppe has created a character whose jagged contradictions make you stare... [Jax's] a profane alcoholic with a poet's eye and turn of phrase, and her use of language elevates this book." - Zoe Zolbrod, author of The Telling and Currency

"Wow. I drank down the raw, profane, world-be-damned voice of Jacinda, aka Jax (the sexy protagonist of Poppe's high-octane first novel) in one long gulp." - Lesley Dormen, author of The Best Place to Be: A Novel in Stories.

"Moxie is an indie press book that deserves as much attention as it can get. It's smart, fierce, funny, and eventually, ever so slightly uplifting." - Read Her Like an Open Book

"Sentence fragments litter Moxie as a kind of linguistic shrapnel, accompanied by sharp, descriptive moments that leave the reader off-kilter as Jax goes about her day...Poppe has a deft hand with crude language and body horror and twists these moments into graceful linguistic play ..." - The Massachusetts Review
