When her therapist asks the question, Andrea knows the right things to say: she's a designer, a friend, a daughter, a sister. But it's what she leaves unsaid--she's alone, a drinker, a former artist, a shrieker in bed, captain of the sinking ship that is her flesh--that feels the most true. Everyone around her seems to have an entirely different idea of what it means to be an adult: her best friend, Indigo, is getting married; her brother--who miraculously seems unscathed by their shared tumultuous childhood--and sister-in-law are having a hoped-for baby; and her friend Matthew continues to wholly devote himself to making dark paintings at the cost of being flat broke. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut when Andrea's niece finally arrives, born with a heartbreaking ailment, the Bern family is forced to reexamine what really matters. Will this drive them together or tear them apart? Told in gut-wrenchingly honest, mordantly comic vignettes, \u003cem\u003eAll Grown Up\u003c\/em\u003e is a breathtaking display of Jami Attenberg's power as a storyteller, a whip-smart examination of one woman's life, lived entirely on her own terms.","brand":"Ecco Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":54343541522800,"sku":"9781328915320","price":14.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/1304\/3568\/files\/imageloader_f7d34400-8972-4ee3-b497-cf8fb2a6ef70.jpg?v=1789929102","url":"https:\/\/aveson.store\/products\/all-grown-up","provider":"Aveson","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
