A wickedly funny novel about a thirty-nine-year-old single, childfree woman who defies convention as she seeks connection.

''Hilarious, courageous and mesmerising'' Maria Semple''Think BBC''s Fleabag set in Brooklyn'' Stylist ''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.
