Rezensionen

'Jaunty, witty, sexy and funny ... [Unsworth's] writing surprises, delights and moves. I will remember, for a long time, this novel's lacerating wit and its melancholy sorrow' GUARDIAN

'Adults is hilarious ... that this novel is so relatable is what makes it such a page-turner. Heartwarming and heartbreaking' STYLIST

'Unsworth dazzlingly skewers modern life ... This deserves to be gleefully quoted' SUNDAY TIMES

'Virtuoso ... Unsworth sparkles... like the very best of her kind, she creates a world complex enough that in the echoes of our laughter are also relatability, wistfulness, even hope' OBSERVER

'I LOVED it! Dazzling observations & snarky one-liners, with a heroine who is vulnerable, funny,

intelligent & feels SO REAL I WISH I'd written it!' MARIAN KEYES

'Adults is a sharp, funny novel about floundering in a social-media world where everyone else seems to be flying ... [Unsworth] nails the anguish of losing a future and figuring yourself out. Adults is witty, clever and a bit frightening. Unsworth had me rooting for Jenny to like herself' THE TIMES
