RaveThe New York Times Book ReviewEmma Jane Unsworth’s new novel, Grown Ups, grants you precisely that voyeuristic look into the hideous unseen machinations behind the posts. And it is deeply unsettling ... Although it’s a comedic novel — and a truly funny one — it’s less of an escape than it is a set of Clockwork Orange metal eye clamps, forcing you to examine, in paragraphs and paragraphs of hand-wringing over exclamation points and emoji choices and the exact right timing of a fav, your own profoundlyunhealthy relationship with social media ... Grown Ups succeeds in not just accurately portraying this modern obsession, but in tenderly revealing what might be driving it.
