Story
Martha Friel just turned forty. Once, she worked at Vogue and planned to write a novel. Now, she creates internet content. She used to live in a pied-à-terre in Paris. Now she lives in a gated community in Oxford, the only person she knows without a PhD, a baby or both, in a house she hates but cannot bear to leave. But she must leave, now that her husband Patrick—the kind who cooks, throws her birthday parties, who loves her and has only ever wanted her to be happy—has just moved out.

When Zoey Hennessey comes to claim her deceased mother's apartment at The Dellawisp, she meets her quirky, enigmatic neighbors including a girl on the run, a grieving chef whose comfort food does not comfort him, two estranged middle-aged sisters, and three ghosts.

Publisher's Summary
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A TODAY SHOW #ReadWithJenna BOOK CLUB PICK!
"In a time when all we want is hope, it’s a beautiful book to reach for."—Jenna Bush Hager
"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
“An immensely charming and warmhearted book. It’s a vacation for the soul.”—Vox
A warm, funny, and keenly perceptive novel about the life cycle of one family—as the kids become parents, grandchildren become teenagers, and a matriarch confronts the legacy of her mistakes. From the New York Times bestselling author of Modern Lovers and The Vacationers, and the forthcoming novel This Time Tomorrow.
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.
What the critics say
"A quaint Hudson Valley town, an endearing matriarch, a goat cheese farm—Straub's modern saga of a complicated family web is a literary security blanket."—Entertainment Weekly
“You’ll never want to say goodbye to the Strick family of All Adults Here, Emma Straub’s charming fourth novel.”—O, The Oprah Magazine
“To describe Emma Straub’s novel All Adults Here without using the word ‘charming’ is like trying to describe an accordion without using your hands. But winsome and big-hearted do fine to characterize Ms. Straub’s loosely knit, multigenerational fourth novel …Tight, flinty Astrid…seems like close kin to Elizabeth Strout’s Olive Kitteridge.”—The Wall Street Journal

Ridiculous story
The story is so predictable and ridiculous. I could not handle the metaphors in almost every sentence. As still as the beefeaters in front of Buckingham Palace; holding on the way a queen holds the edge of a king's throne; it made as much sense as hiring a sky writing airplane and puffing the words out in smoke; the way a fighter might take off her earrings before a sidewalk brawl; like a piece of unbuttered wonder bread, like she was testing for bad breath, it felt like she was trying to audition for the ninja warrior course, she felt like a 10 foot tall dragon, like godzilla, like she was walking through the Hudson River. These metaphors are so contrived and unnecessary. I found myself just waiting for the next one and the next one. Really unbearable. So many cliches and preposterous story lines.

I Love reading a book where I fall in love with the characters and hate for the book to end. Straub did a great job of exposing the faults and strengths, not only of Astrid the main character, but of all of her family as well.

A look back
It took me a while to understand where this book was trying to lead me, as a mother with a daughter and grandchildren the last chapters just hit home. We all make mistakes as parents some big, some small. This is a great book for all mothers.

Good but not great.
This book was good but not great. I didn't really ever get to the point that I cared about the characters. Some parts of the story I thought were underdeveloped, other parts drug on somewhat. Too many characters whose stories were basically dropped and never woven into the end .
