ALL ADULTS HERE - EMMA STRAUB KARTONIERT (TB)

Brimming with kindness  forgiveness  humor and love and yet (magically) also a page turner that
held me captive until it was finished. This is Emma Straub's absolute best and the world will
love it. I love it.-Ann Patchett This instant New York Times bestseller is literary sunshine
(NYT) from the beloved queen of the summer novel (Entertainment Weekly): a warm  funny story
about the life cycle of one family. 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. Story Locale: Upstate New York
