All Grown Up by Jami Attenberg


Andrea finds herself making her way through her 30s surrounded by people who want different things for her than she wants for herself. As she deals with her lost dreams of being an artist and her painful family history, she finds herself in a variety of messy, honest, and frequently hilarious situations. Told in vignettes that take place over more than a decade of Andrea’s reluctant adulthood, Jami Attenberg’s newest work is smart, insightful, and rough around the edges, in a way that the reader will be understand.
