Amazon Exclusive: Aryn Kyle Reviews The Adults
Aryn Kyle will be the author of Boys and Girls like You and Me and The God of Animals.

While I had been looking over this novel, I found myself carrying it around with me to ensure that I possibly could read bits of computer aloud to my friends. "Listen to the line," I'd tell them. "Listen to the paragraph." Alison Espach doesn’t just see the thrills and terrors and confusion which make up that rocky, winding path between childhood and adulthood, but she manages to convey them basic perfect pitch, such authenticity and humor and tenderness, that I found myself going back to passages again and again, simply for your pleasure of reading her prose. "Listen on the way she describes this scene," I told my friends. "Listen to the way she starts this chapter." "Listen towards the way she ends it."

The Adults follows Emily Vidal, a sharp-eyed but sensitive girl, from early adolescence into early adulthood. Because novel opens, the cozy arena of Emily’s affluent Connecticut upbringing actually starts to simultaneously dissolve and expand with the divorce of her parents. While her mother and father find that it is hard to restructure their lives without each other, Emily is left to navigate her increasingly complicated world mostly for my child own.

Coming-of-age stories seem to become a dime a dozen, maybe because everybody has one: We all grow up. Well, we try.

What makes The Adults unique is also, I believe, what makes it universal: The book froths while using frenetic energy of adolescence, the giddiness as well as the fear, the nastiness and vulnerability, the humor so deftly juxtaposed with all the heartbreak that from the span of your single paragraph I'd personally find myself laughing out loud, then aching with sadness.

There’s a fearlessness about Espach’s writing, an authority that produces this novel, once started, nearly impossible to set down. The real accomplishment of The Adults, however, isn't unflinching insights or razor-edged prose, however the underlying tenderness Espach conveys for her characters. They're deeply flawed and wounded people, characters that might, in less capable hands, be challenging to like and an easy task to judge. But through small moments and brief encounters, Espach expertly portrays the vast complexities of the characters, which makes them loveable even though they’re not especially likable.

This is surely an honest and brutally funny novel about choices and mistakes, acceptance and forgiveness, regarding the people we love along with the people we leave even as pass from childhood into adulthood. Whatever which may be.

In Espach's charming coming-of-age debut, 14-year-old Emily Vidal's life starts to veer off course at her father's 50th birthday party when he announces which he and her mother are divorcing. The birthday night ends with dad kissing the neighbor, Mrs. Resnick, within the woods, where Emily and Mrs. Resnick's son, Mark, discover them. The disorienting discoveries continue: Mark's ailing father commits suicide, and Mrs. Resnick is pregnant with Emily's dad's baby. With dad away and off to Prague and her mother undone by the affair and punching the bottle, Emily loses faith in all of the adults around her, even as she's becoming among them. Emily starts an affair with an English teacher A decade her senior, mostly to see how far she can go, which turns out being pretty far. She along with the teacher, Jonathan, who leaves teaching to get a lawyer, go back to the other person repeatedly as Emily graduates from college and moves to Prague to be together with her father. Espach perfects the snarky, postironic deadpan in the 1990s and teenagers everywhere, and her ear for modern speech and eye for fresh detail transform a familiar story into instruction in what it means to be a grown-up.
