"Astrid Strick's three children may be adults now, but that doesn't meant they are all grown up. To their siblings, to their mother, even to some spouses, their recent life decisions have been questionable. But the truth is, even Astrid herself is up to things that would make her children's hair curl. And that's all before the upheaval of granddaughter Cecelia coming to stay. Emma Straub's unique alchemy of wisdom, humor, and insight come together in a deeply satisfying, multigenerational story about adult siblings, aging parents, high school boyfriends, middle school mean girls, the lifelong effects of birth order, and all the other things that follow us into adulthood whether we want them to or not."--Page 4 of cover.
