Modern Lovers by Emma Straub

5.0

Modern Lovers is a beautifully nuanced story about friendship, love, and meaning that follows the curves of adolescence, young adulthood, and middle age. Elizabeth, Andrew, and Zoe are former college roommates who have lived next door to one another throughout their adult lives. They have watched each other marry, shuffle through careers, and try on selves over many years. As their children, Ruby and Harry, move into the twilight of adolescence and towards the adulthood that waits beyond it, Elizabeth, Andrew, and Zoe begin to confront the choices they made in their early 20s and the ways in which those choices continue to shape the courses of their lives.

A beautifully written novel. I think Emma Straub is quickly becoming one of my favorite novelists.
