Off white background w dark purple quoted text and green attributions - reads ““A powerhouse collection from a promising author.”

—ALA Booklist

“A distinct yet relatable collection of stories about aging, relationships, decisions and (dis)connections. This is a smart, sensitive and satisfying debut.”

—Ms. Magazine

Book cover - off white background w a series of horizontal rectangles spanning top to bottom - the rectangles are roy blue, violet, green, and a more muted gray blue -the color pattern repeats. The text reads “sad grownups” and “Amy stuber” in off white all caps. At the top there’s a blurb from Dan Chaon that reads “smart, funny, spooky, melancholy.”
