** It s the beautifully drawn, vibrant characters that make this smart, compelling novel so irresistible. Liane Moriarty **
From the New York Times Bestselling author of The Vacationers, Emma Straub brings us a sharply observed tale of modern love . . .
Twenty years later and they were supposed to be grown-ups...
Ditmas Park, Brooklyn.
Summer in the city . . .
College friends Elizabeth, Zoe and Andrew had a band, grew up, settled in New York and now they are still living round the corner from one another (and in each other s pockets).
One hot summer as their kids come of age, making those first hesitant steps into adulthood, it s the parents who find that the lives they ve so carefully stitched together begin slowly to come apart . . .
Has all the pleasures of Anne Tyler s compelling family portraits . . . with a Lorrie Moore-like sense of the absurdities of contemporary life Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
Really entertaining. The characters are complex and likeable. It s one of those stories that makes you realise that life really does run away from you Guardian
Straub s characters thrum off the page. The sort of witty and relatable summer title you ll devour with a contented smack of the lips Independent
Funny yet tart, warm yet incisive. I adored it Red
