Summary:
"At the centre of an affluent suburban universe where neighbors commit suicide and high school teachers have suspect relationships with students is Emily Vidal, a smart and snarky teenager exposed to the world of grown-ups. Among the cast of unforgettable characters is Emily's father, whose fiftieth birthday party has the adults descending on the Vidal's patio, her mother, who has orchestrated the elaborate party despite their marital troubles, and an assortment of eccentric neighbors, teachers, and teenagers who teem with anxiety and sexualilty and an unbridled desire to be noticed and ultimately, loved. An irressitible chronicle of a modern young woman's struggle to grown up. The Adult lays bare - in perfect pitch - a world where an adult and a child can so dangerously be mistaken for the same exact thing."--Inside front cover.
