The Return of Jason Foxx
AN ADULT COMING-OF-AGE NOVEL
THIRTY-THREE-YEAR-OLD JASON FOXX FINALLY—FINALLY—KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS.
He wants to get his damaged brother, Brian, back on his feet. He wants to reconcile with his ex-girlfriend Adele and be a dad to her son, Stephen. And after nine years of teaching, he wants at last to set aside his own traumas—his imprisoned conman father, a mother who abandoned the family years before she died—and become a principal at a high school for troubled kids. Kids he can save, like his teachers saved him.
But things don't always work out the way you want.
When his observation lesson is sabotaged by Mr. Rastik, a fellow teacher with his own agenda, Jason finds his plans slipping from his grasp. With a number of teachers due to be excessed next year, Rastik is ruthless, ready to do whatever it takes—manipulation, even blackmail—to keep himself at Central South High School.
Then there's Jason's father, locked away in West Virginia, holding onto the power of attorney Jason needs should something go wrong with Brian. He'll give it up, he says, if Jason will fly to Florida into a life he never knew his father lived.
If Jason is to build the home he wants with Adele and Stephen-if he's to maneuver past Rastik's machinations and at last step out from the shadow of childhood—he'll need to understand that things are not always as they seem. Maybe he's not the only one struggling. He's not the only one growing. And whether brother, son, father, partner, principal, or teacher, he still has quite a lot to learn.

From my childhood I always enjoy stories of indomitable spirits who never accept defeat. The protagonist Jason in the novel “The Return of Jason Foxx” by Kevin Lavey is one such character. I love every moment with him. His dealing with problems, his emotions towards the life and closed ones, his inward feelings all are sketched so superbly by the author that I have no words to express my joy reading it.
His complex past, which includes childhood traumas, makes things challenging for him. His father is imprisoned with vital documents that could come in handy in an emergency, and his sibling is hospitalised due to serious health concerns, adding to his already stressful condition. His coworker is also ruining his job, and his true love isn't sure about her ex. I find it impressive that Jason never gives up hope in the face of overwhelming odds.
The intricate events are so masterfully drawn by the author that they all seem quite real. I could quickly relate to all those individuals because of how authentic their feelings and emotions feel. The language and narrative technique used to craft such a lovely plot are just flawless. This one's is great read for every reader like me who loves to have a different pov about life and society.

I always enjoy a little complex plot rather than an easy one and 'The return of Jason Foxx' by Kevin Lavey has not disappointed me in that regard. From the very beginning of the novel the protagonist Jason Foxx goes through an avalanche of problems. His brother's serious health issues, his father's jail term, his sabotaged educational career and his problematic personal life all happens one after another. But amid all these Jason wants to be a better father, husband and brother. I enjoyed his spirit to be a better person fighting against the fate. The language and the plotline of the novel is just superb to engage anyone till the very last page of this coming of age novel. The character sketching along with the psychological building is phenomenal. I just cherished Jason's way towards maturity. Overall it's a beautiful novel that focuses on the character strength and positivity that wins against follies of society and human being.

The Return of Jason Foxx by Kevin Lavey is a contemporary fiction story about a teacher in his early 30s, ready to advance his career, commit to his long-term girlfriend and have normal adult sibling relationships with his siblings and father. Of course, nothing ever goes exactly as planned right? When he realizes a colleague purposely sabotaged his lesson during an evaluation, his younger brother ends up in the hospital with a TBI, his girlfriend isn't sure where her ex (who is also the father to her 8 year old son) fits in the picture, and his dad wants him to come visit him in jail, Jason starts to believe his world really is falling apart, but he manages to keep it together and keep striving for what he wants in life. Things don't follow his perfect plan, but this story definitely ends on a positive note and Jason learns lots about who he was, who he is today and who he wants to be in the future.
While the education system is a bit different in the states, there were lots of elements of this story that I could really relate to from a teacher's perspective, and I think other educators would like this book for the same reasons I did. I also enjoyed the fact that while he had a successful job and education (like me) he isn't as perfect as others seem to think he is (also like me) and that's totally ok. It sucks to reflect back on a crappy lesson or wish you could better support your family or partner, or just be annoyed with life's sudden turns but no matter where you came from and where you are headed, if you continue to work hard and not give up, good things will come.
I would definitely recommend this book! I had a hard time putting it down and think that whether you're a teacher or not, you might really enjoy this book! Thanks to @breysbooktours and @boyleanddalton for giving me a chance to read and review this awesome book!

Kevin Lavey's "The Return of Jason Foxx" is a reflection of contemporary culture. It highlights a number of contemporary societal issues, such as troubled child rearing, marriage issues, relationship issues, issues in the education sector, etc. I never felt that any portion of the plot was forced to change throughout the entire read because the author did such a great job sketching the society. Every circumstance arose in order to forward the plot. Beautifully captured were the characters' thoughts, feelings, and psychological developments. I cherished the difficult times Jason had because of his obligations in life. Throughout the book, the intricacies and priorities of life are expertly conveyed. I must point out the author's exceptional storytelling skills. I have no doubt that other readers would adore it as well.

'The return of Jason Foxx' by Kevin Lavey is an excellent writing on overcoming life's complexities. I loved how the author sketched the protagonist who knows his strength and conquer all the troubles that comes in front of his decision to be a better person. His traumatic childhood experiences and agonizing present situation that involves his ill brother, jailed father and his problematic love life and career, can not hold him to be what he wish for. I also cherished every emotional moments that present us the psychology of Jason Foxx. The author beautifully captures Jason's struggles in a modern day society. I think this is an wonderful book about society, education and postive mindset. Any one looking for a thought provoking read is going to enjoy this one.

Writing about society in all its diversity is the duty of an author. The portrayal of a coming-of-age culture in Kevin Lavey's book "The Return of Jason Foxx" skillfully upholds this responsibility. A young man in his early thirties with profound mental turmoil, anger, and rage are shown as challenges in his quest to improve himself in all facets of life. As a result of his mother leaving their family, Jason had to endure childhood traumas. His sibling is ill in the hospital and has major health problems. There are also issues in his long-term partnership. As a good brother, father, and husband, Jason aspires to find solutions to all of his problems. A coworker who has undermined his lessons and is attempting to end his career deals him the ultimate blow in life. I promise you that this novel was excellent, but the author had to craft a really clever narrative to make this story work. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the main emotional upheavals in his life in addition to the plot and narration. You will definitely enjoy the conversations and people in this book.

In "The Return of Jason Foxx," Kevin Lavey tells us a heartwarming tale of a young protagonist in his early thirties who aspires to be a better spouse, father, and brother. However, nice people like him do not always get a fair shake in life. His father is incarcerated, and his sibling is dealing with severe health problems. It's difficult for him to be a decent parent because he has early recollections of her mother abandoning her family. However, Jason aspires to be a better person than he was in his early years. In addition to experiencing problems in his romantic life, a colleague also takes shots at him in his academic career. Jason doesn't give up though. This novel is my favourite because of Jason's character strength. With its excellent life lessons centred around contemporary issues, the novel's writing is truly fantastic. A terrific time awaits anyone who like emotional novels.

Kevin Lavey's "The Return of Jason Foxx" shows the fine blend of emotional complexities and strength of character. The story from the first page finely projects the mindset of the main protagonist. We met Jason Foxx and continue to love him till the end of the book. Though it tells about family, priorities of life, maturity and love, it never bores you for a moment. The spontaneous flow of writing amuses me with gripping prose and fine story telling.
Jason tries to straight things up in his life. He wants to cure himself from his traumatic childhood memories when his mother left behind her family and conman husband. He wants to take care of his brother who is fighting in hospital. His father is in jail and he wants some document from him that might be help if something goes wrong with his brother. His wife is going through trouble with her ex and Jason wants to stabilize his long term relationship. But things don't go right always as we want. His career and dream to help troubled kids lands in problem when a jealous colleague sabotaged his lessons. I enjoyed every twist in the story that comes with real problems of life. It's wonderful to see how Jason's character get mature with every dealing. It's a fun read that makes your day and I loved it for that reason.

August 26, 2023The Return of Jason Foxx is a clever novel about Jason Foxx a 30-something teacher who struggles with life happening TO him rather than taking charge of his life and making things happen himself. Saddled with a dysfunctional family and a lot of family baggage, Jason navigates family, career and personal life, sometimes clumsily. But he is a likable person and I definitely found myself rooting for him.
I enjoyed the dialogue and I liked that the ending left us with questions that could easily be a sequel or even a prequel.
Definitely a fun one.

Not everyone grows up at the teens. heck I am in my late twenties and still feel like I am a teen, not sure how to be a proper adult.
Jason too has his coming of age story in his thirties, he takes his role as a teacher, husband and father more seriously as a tragedy shakes him and makes him stand before difficult choices.
The book is slow paced and has been sitting on kindle for a long time and I wanted to review it. So a quick read and here we are. It's a slide-of-life book, character driven, a good light read but also thought provoking.

Oh I adored this book! I know many public education teachers, and the struggles of Jason Foxx within that world rang so true. Lavey does literary fiction well, with a dash of humor and complex characters that live in your head long after you've stopped reading. Highly recommend.

An author has the responsibility to present the society with all its colour. Kevin Lavey has successfully maintained that responsibility in his novel 'The return of Jason Foxx' where a coming of age society gets portrayed. The problems of a early thirty aged young man who wants to be a better person from every angle of life demonstated with complexities of emotional turmoils, frustrations and angust.
The book shows us the traumatic childhood's psychological build up. After Jason's mother left his conman father and family, Jason's struggle started. But it was his teachers that helped him to come back in life. He wants to be the same help for the other troubled kids. But his educational career comes in jeopardy when his lessons become sabotaged by one of his colleagues. His problems become more after his brother is hospitalized from serious illness. His father has some papers that can be of help if the health of his brother deteriorates but he is in jail. Adding more stress, his long term girl friend still isn't sure about the position of her ex in her life.
The writing style and narrative is brilliant throughout the book to build emotional turmoils and dramatic follow ups centering that. The characters are realistic with all types of shades. It's incredible to see Jason fighting against the fate with spirit. The educational sector is also portrayed so nicely in novel. I came to know so much that I was not aware of before. The language has the ability to take you to another world for some time. I have some great time with the book and excited to read some more from this author.

Recently I have finished some really good books that talks about human emotions, real life problems etc. "The Return of Jason Foxx" by Kevin Lavey is perhaps the best of those. It has all the qualities of a great story. From being a simple person Jason becomes the hero of his life by facing the problems of his life. He wants a simple life with stable relationships but that's not an easy thing in today's world.
Jason has to overcome his childhood traumas from his mother's abandonment of her family. His brother is suffering from serious health issues in Hospital. His long term relationship is in some problems too. Jason wants to solve every problem to be a good husband, brother and father. But there comes a final blow in life when a colleague has sabotaged his lessons and tries to finish his career.
Just reading the above one can imagine, the author has to build the plotline brilliantly to make this story working and believe me the novel was phenomenal. I loved not only the storyline and narrative but enjoyed each and every major emotional turmoils of his life. I cherished how Jason matures throughout the book. All the characters and dialogues in this book is bound to amuse you. I think to think positively and be a better person amid a lot of problems, every reader should read this book.

“The Return of Jason Foxx” by Kevin Lavey is a story that will be with me for long. Human being's journey against odds of life isn't new but the way author has presented it, has amused me from the very first to last page. The main character Jason, a man in his early thirties, had a difficult upbringing following his mother's divorce from his father, the con artist. Jason is facing several challenges in life that will put his moral values to the test. His brother is going through a really difficult time dealing with serious health problems.

The novel has excellent writing throughout. I adore Jason's obstinate approach to living. The optimistic outlook on life is really lovely. This story does a great job of highlighting the flaws in our society's educational system. This book has plenty to offer to any reader who loves social context based novels.

We have here a deeply resonant coming-of-age novel that proves it’s never too late to come of age. Through the lens of Jason Foxx, a thirty-three-year-old on a quest to build the life he longs for, the author skillfully navigates the intricacies of relationships, personal growth, and the unforeseen twists of fate.
Jason's desires are simple yet profound, and the novel unflinchingly portrays his journey as he grapples with his own emotional wounds—stemming from his imprisoned conman father and a mother who vanished from their lives—while striving to save others, just as his teachers once saved him.
The narrative takes an unexpected turn when a scheming fellow teacher thwarts Jason's plans. The depiction of this power struggle within the educational realm adds layers of tension and depth to the story, reflecting the challenges many individuals face when trying to make meaningful change in their lives.
Complex, nuanced, and thought-provoking, Jason’s story is emblematic of the countless ways adults must navigate the tricky terrain between their past and present.
