All Adults Here
by Emma Straub
UGH. I'm really disappointed. I was waiting for this one and was so excited to get it and read it, and I didn't like it.
This is a book about family dysfunction. When Astrid Strick sees someone her age get hit by a bus in the middle of town, it strikes a cord in her. She wants to live life with no regrets, and she starts thinking back to how she acted as a parent and whether she was a good one.
I love a book about a dysfunctional family, so I was eager to get my hands on this. But there wasn't really a plot. I still can't tell you what I think the storyline was. It kinda felt like Emma Straub just wanted to take every social issue in the world and cram it into one book. There were so many characters, and each character has so much to them that there were too many stories trying to be told at once.
It was full of cliches and was a little preachy for a work of fiction. I was so bored while reading this and found myself just pushing to get through it.
