There are no grown-ups. Everyone else is winging it too. Does it ever feel like everyone - except you - is a bona-fide adult? Do you wonder how real grown-ups get to be so mysteriously capable and wise? When she turns 40, Pamela Druckerman - author of the #1 Sunday Times bestseller French Children Don't Throw Food -wonders whether her mind will ever catch up with her face. With frank personal stories and witty maxims, Druckerman hilariously navigates the unexplored zone between young and not-so-young. There Are No Grown-Ups is a midlife coming-of-age story, a quest for wisdom, self-knowledge and the right pair of pants. It's a book for readers of all ages about - finally - becoming yourself. You know you're in your forties when... A You're matter-of-fact about chin hair. A You become impatient while scrolling down to your year of birth. A Your parents have stopped trying to change you. A You don't want to be with the cool people anymore; you want to be with your people. A You know that 'Soul mate' isn't a pre-existing condition. It's earned over time. A You know there are no grown-ups. Everyone is winging it, some just do it more confidently.
