absolute best and the world will love it. I love it." —New York Times
bestselling author Ann Patchett
"A
totally engaging and smart book about the absolutely marvelous messiness of

Named

Washington Post, USA Today, Buzzfeed, GoodReads, and many more.
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.
