But nothing ages them like having to suddenly pass the torch (of sexuality, independence, and the ineffable alchemy of cool) to their own offspring.\u003c\/p\u003eBack in the band's heyday, Elizabeth put on a snarl over her Midwestern smile, Andrew let his unwashed hair grow past his chin, and Zoe was the lesbian all the straight women wanted to sleep with. Now nearing fifty, they all live within shouting distance in the same neighborhood deep in gentrified Brooklyn, and the trappings of the adult world seem to have arrived with ease. But the summer that their children reach maturity (and start sleeping together), the fabric of the adult lives suddenly begins to unravel, and the secrets and revelations that are finally let loose--about themselves, and about the famous fourth band member who soared and fell without them--can never be reclaimed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStraub packs wisdom and insight and humor together in a satisfying book about neighbors and nosiness, ambition and pleasure, the excitement of youth, the shock of middle age, and the fact that our passions--be they food, or friendship, or music--never go away, they just evolve and grow along with us.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmma Straub is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e‒bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eModern Lovers, The Vacationers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLaura Lamont's Life in Pictures\u003c\/i\u003e, and the short story collection \u003ci\u003eOther People We Married\u003c\/i\u003e.
