A National Bestseller ?I read it twice, laughing, cringing, and even tearing up.? ? Judy Blume, New York Times ?Powerful . . . All Grown Up is so intimately [and] sharply observed.? ? Vogue ? ?Bravo to Attenberg, who, with hilarity and honesty, tells the story of an adult woman who wants what she wants, not what she?s supposed to want.? ? Marie Claire ? Who is Andrea Bern? When her dippy 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 a different idea of what it means to be an adult, though. But 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, All Grown Up is a breathtaking display of Jami Attenberg?s powers as a storyteller and?a whip-smart examination of one woman?s life, lived entirely on her own terms.
