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. Waiters start calling her `Madame', and she detects a disturbing new message in mens' gazes: I would sleep with her, but only if doing so required no effort whatsoever. What are the modern forties, and what do we know once we reach them? What makes someone a `grown-up' anyway? And why didn't anyone warn us that we'd get cellulite on our arms? There Are No Grown-Ups is a midlife coming-of-age story, a hilarious quest for wisdom, self-knowledge and the right pair of pants. It's a book for readers of all ages about—finally—becoming yourself.
