Funny and full of cool observations that strike a chord, Emma Straub’s whip-smart look at the lives of two Brooklyn families gets to the heart of what growing up means.
Middle-aged Andrew, Zoe and Elizabeth used to be in a band, and are hoping to hold on to their youth by reforming.
Meanwhile, their children are about to make the same mistakes they did. It’s a brilliant dissection of mid-life crisis and youthful indiscretion.
Modern Lovers by Emma Straub (Michael Joseph, £12.99) is out now.
