meghanmdixon 's review for:
All Adults Here
by Emma Straub
Thanks to WNYC and NYPL was able to read this as part of the August #GetLitWithAllOfIt book club! Great way to break in my kindle, eternally grateful to the NYPL for keeping me entertained these past few months!
This is a great summer read, I knew absolutely nothing going in except that it continues to be on lots of summer reading list. I was happily surprised at the LGBTQ themes and that it's set in a fictional community in an area that I'm stereotypically obsessed with - the Hudson Valley. The LGBTQ narratives felt a little commonplace - would have liked to spend even more time with some of those characters as they navigated their world.
Due to the social and political climate I'm reading this book during - some of the issues and fights felt a bit petty and privileged, but what kept me hooked was the sibling relationships. I'm a sucker for complex, unique sibling connections and this book definitely delivered on that front.
I haven't read anything else by Emma Straub but could be tempted to pick up another one of her books for summer reading.
