All Adults Here by Emma Straub
3.0

There are times that I have trouble connecting with a book because the main characters are at a different life stage than I am. I'm well past the striving twenty-something stage, I'm past the harried new mom stage.

I enjoyed this book in large part because it focused on several generations that I could absolutely relate to -- adult children, aging parents, teenagers -- thus the title "All Adults Here." The family members look back on turning points, key conversations, good intentions and misunderstandings, all the stuff that defines a family. This is an easy, breezy read, nothing that will bring you down, a nice and comfortable escape from the heaviness of the world right now.
