"Reading this novel has all the pleasures of reading one of Anne Tyler's compelling family portraits -- but transported from Baltimore to Brooklyn, peopled with aging hipsters (instead of perennially middle-aged folks) and doused with a Lorrie Moore-like sense of the absurdities of contemporary life." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"The humorous insight Straub brings to the page about how everyday lives are lived will make for immersive reading and rich conversation. . . Straub recounts her characters' yearnings with love and empathy, which makes the book's wit -- and Modern Lovers is screamingly funny --glow with warmth." --USA Today "Straub serves up a perfect slice of the zeitgeist with this entertaining novel about former college bandmates raising their precocious children while grappling with marital tensions and midlife crises." --People "[Modern Lovers] has the smart, cool sensibility of Straub's other novels, and you're sure to love this one just as much." --Elle "Straub lets her characters fall apart and come together in their own messy, refreshingly human ways-- always older, sometimes wiser, but never quite done coming of age." -Entertainment Weekly“It’s ‘Friends’ meets ‘Almost Famous’ meets the beach read you’ll be recommending all summer.” –TheSkimm
From the author of the New York Times bestseller The Vacationers, a smart, highly entertaining novel about a tight-knit group of friends from college— and what it means to finally grow up, well after adulthood has set in.
Friends and former college bandmates Elizabeth and Andrew and Zoe have watched one another marry, buy real estate, and start businesses and families, all while trying to hold on to the identities of their youth. But nothing ages them like having to suddenly pass the torch (of sexuality, independence, and the ineffable alchemy of cool) to their own offspring.
