All grown up / Jami Attenberg, 197 pages.
Andrea really starts out grown up but then continues to grow. She is an art school grad but ends up in the grind of advertising, easily doing well in a job she does not enjoy. She spends her time partying, screwing guys she dates and avoiding the "expected" path. She has no desire to pair off or have kids. She kind of ignores her family and the fact that she is in a rut. Her friends are out there getting married, having kids, getting divorced and she is avoiding all of those things. I can get behind that but in the end, she just seems bored. This book has gotten some great reviews, maybe I just didn't get it. I don't regret reading it but not sure who I would recommend it to.
