Sinopse

An enthralling confession of a woman contending with the outside world's expectations of who she should be'I'm alone. I'm a drinker. I'm a former artist. I'm a shrieker in bed. I'm the captain of the sinking ship that is my flesh.'Andrea is a single, childless 39-year-old woman who tries to navigate family, sexuality, friendships and a career she never wanted, but battles with thoughts and desires that few people would want to face up to.Gut-wrenchingly honest and shimmering with rage and intimacy, All Grown Up questions what it means to be a 21st century woman:What if I don't want to hold your baby?Can I date you without ever hearing about your divorce?What can I demand of my mother now that I am an adult?Is therapy pointless?At what point does drinking a lot become a drinking problem?Why does everyone keep asking me why I am not married?Powerfully intelligent and wickedly funny, All Grown Up delves into the psyche of a flawed but mesmerising character. Readers will recognise themselves in Jami Attenberg's truthful account of womanhood, though they might not always want to admit it.
