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.
