Written by Jami Attenberg. Themes include Fiction, Classics, Women.

Hiding the truth about her unhappiness and struggles with anxiety from everyone including her family, best friend, and therapist, Andrea Bern joins her loved ones in a reevaluation of family strength in the wake of her newborn niece's heartbreaking ailment. 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?
