Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Vacationers, Emma Straub brings us a sharply observed tale of modern love....

Twenty years later and they were supposed to be grown-ups....

Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. Summer in the city....

College friends Elizabeth, Zoe and Andrew had a band, grew up, settled in New York and now they were still living round the corner from one another (and in each other's pockets).

One hot summer as their kids come of age, making those first hesitant steps into adulthood, it's the parents who find that the lives they've so carelessly stitched together begin to slowly unravel....

Critic reviews

"It's the beautifully drawn, vibrant characters that make this smart, compelling novel so irresistible." (Liane Moriarty)

"Has all the pleasures of Anne Tyler's compelling family portraits...with a Lorrie Moore-like sense of the absurdities of contemporary life." (Michiko Kakutani, New York Times)

"Really entertaining. The characters are complex and likeable. It's one of those stories that makes you realise that life really does run away from you." (Guardian)
