A warm, funny, and keenly perceptive novel about the life cycle of one family--as the kids become parents, grandchildren become teenagers, and a matriarch confronts the legacy of her mistakes. From the New York Times bestselling author of Modern Lovers and The Vacationers.

When Astrid Strick witnesses a school bus accident in the center of town, it jostles loose a repressed memory from her young parenting days decades earlier. Suddenly, Astrid realizes she was not quite the parent she thought she'd been to her three, now-grown children. But to what consequence?

Astrid's youngest son is drifting and unfocused, making parenting mistakes of his own. Her daughter is pregnant yet struggling to give up her own adolescence. And her eldest seems to measure his adult life according to standards no one else shares. But who gets to decide, so many years later, which long-ago lapses were the ones that mattered? Who decides which apologies really count? It might be that only Astrid's thirteen-year-old granddaughter and her new friend really understand the courage it takes to tell the truth to the people you love the most.

In All Adults Here, Emma Straub's unique alchemy of wisdom, humor, and insight come together in a deeply satisfying 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 like them to or not.

当Astrid Strick在镇中心看到一辆校车发生事故时，一段被压抑已久的回忆似乎也被这场事故给撞了出来，她想起了数十年前自己年轻时当母亲的日子。Astrid突然意识到，她原来养育她三个孩子（现在已经长大成人）的方式完全不是她想的那样。但是后果是什么呢？

Astrid最小的儿子优柔寡断，没有明确的目标，自己也在犯育儿方面的错误。她的女儿怀孕了，却正在努力放弃自己的青春期。而她的大儿子似乎在按照没有其他人用的标准来衡量自己的成年生活。但是，已经过去了那么多年，谁能决定那些很久以前发生的过失哪些是重要的呢？谁能决定哪些道歉真正重要？也许只有Astrid十三岁的孙女和她的新朋友才真正理解向最爱的人讲真话所需的勇气。
