From the writer whose New York Magazine piece "I Was Caroline Calloway" broke the internet, comes a fresh, incisive, laugh-out-loud funny memoir-in-essays about the frenzied journey to adulthood.
Natalie Beach became an internet sensation when her essay on her toxic friendship with Instagram influencer Caroline Calloway went viral. Now, for the first time, and in her own indelible voice, Beach offers a revelatory glimpse into her own life alongside a broader cultural criticism of the world we live in today. Through stories of heartbreak, odd jobs, political activism, existential crises and low-rise jeans, Natalie Beach explores the high stakes and absurdist comedy of coming of age in a world gone mad. For fans of Trick Mirror and We Are Never Meeting in Real Life.
Effervescent, hilarious, and unflinchingly self-aware, Adult Drama marks the arrival of an electrifying new literary voice.
