Description

A warm, funny, and keenly perceptive novel about the life cycle of one family--as the kids become parents, grandchildren become teenagers, and a matriarch confronts the legacy of her mistakes. From the New York Times bestselling author of Modern Lovers and The Vacationers. When Astrid Strick witnesses a school bus accident in the center of town, it jostles loose a repressed memory from her young parenting days decades earlier. Suddenly, Astrid realizes she was not quite the parent she thought she'd been to her three, now-grown children. But to what consequence? Astrid's youngest son is drifting and unfocused, making parenting mistakes of his own. Her daughter is pregnant yet struggling to give up her own adolescence. And her eldest seems to measure his adult life according to standards no one else shares. But who gets to decide, so many years later, which long-ago lapses were the ones that mattered? Who decides which apologies really count? It might be that only Astrid's thirteen-year-old granddaughter and her new friend really understand the courage it takes to tell the truth to the people you love the most. In All Adults Here, Emma Straub's unique alchemy of wisdom, humor, and insight come together in a deeply satisfying story about adult siblings, aging parents, high school boyfriends, middle school mean girls, the lifelong effects of birth order, and all the other things that follow us into adulthood, whether we like them to or not.

All Adults Here

This is a very sensitive book principally about love and family which I really enjoyed.

All Adults Here

This is a very thoughtful book which encompasses many themes which surround the dynamic of family. It's a quick read, but it's not forgettable. Despite the almost overwhelming relevance of it all, the characters weren't stepped on by the Important Issues, and the voices of each of them were distinct. It's very light and easy to get through.

INTERESTING

The relationships and the character development was so well written. This author has a great writing style and makes her books very interesting reads

Great book

Sweet, optimistic book about family. Loved the author's writing and use of language.
