Jaunty, witty, sexy and funny [Unsworths] writing surprises, delights and moves. I will remember, for along time, this novels lacerating wit and its melancholy sorrow GUARDIAN

Adults is hilarious that this novel is so relatable is what makes it such a page-turner. Heartwarming and heartbreaking STYLIST

Unsworth dazzlingly skewers modern life This deserves to be gleefully quoted SUNDAY TIMES

Virtuoso Unsworth sparkles like the very best of her kind, she creates a world complex enough that in the echoes of our laughter are also relatability, wistfulness, even hope OBSERVER

I LOVED it! Dazzling observations & snarky one-liners, with a heroine who is vulnerable, funny, intelligent & feels SO REAL I WISH I'd written it! MARIAN KEYES

Adults is a sharp, funny novel about floundering in a social-media world where everyone else seems to be flying [Unsworth] nails the anguish of losing a future and figuring yourself out. Adults is witty, clever and a bit frightening. Unsworth had me rooting for Jenny to like herself THE TIMES
