Adults Summary

Adults by Emma Jane Unsworth

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'HILARIOUS' Stylist
'DAZZLING' Marian Keyes
'WITTY' Guardian
'HEARTBREAKING' Dolly Alderton
'INCREDIBLE' Candice Carty-Williams

Jenny is unloved, unemployable and emotionally unfiltered. Her long-suffering friends seem sick of her and whilst her social media portrays her life as a bed of roses, it is more of a dying succulent.

Could things get any worse? Her mother is on her doorstep with a suitcase, and Jenny is about to find out...

Adults is a 'hilarious and heartbreaking' (Red magazine) novel about living online and trying to find yourself in real life; a hymn to the power of female friendship and an essential read for you and every woman you know.

Adults Reviews

'Jaunty, witty, sexy and funny ... [Unsworth's] writing surprises, delights and moves. I will remember, for a long time, this novel's lacerating wit and its melancholy sorrow' GUARDIAN

'I LOVED it! Dazzling observations & snarky one-liners, with a heroine who is vulnerable, funny, intelligent & feels SO REAL I WISH I'd written it!' MARIAN KEYES

'Adults is a sharp, funny novel about floundering in a social-media world where everyone else seems to be flying ... [Unsworth] nails the anguish of losing a future and figuring yourself out.
