"Named a Most Anticipated Book in... Harper's Bazaar Elle Bookpage Vulture's ""Into It""

From the writer whose New York Magazine piece ""I Was Caroline Calloway"" broke the internet comes a fresh, incisive, laugh-out-loud funny memoir-in-essays about the frenzied journey to adulthood.

Natalie Beach became an internet sensation when her essay on her toxic friendship with Instagram influencer Caroline Calloway went viral. Now, for the first time, and in her own indelible voice, Beach offers a revelatory glimpse into her own life alongside a broader cultural criticism of the world today. Through stories of heartbreak, odd jobs, political activism, existential crises and low-rise jeans, Natalie Beach explores the high stakes and absurdist comedy of coming of age in a world gone mad.

Effervescent, hilarious and unflinchingly self-aware, Adult Drama marks the arrival of an electrifying new literary voice."

Reviews for Adult Drama: And Other Essays

"""[A]n elegant memoir-in-essays... Incisive and candid, this is a must-read.""--Publishers Weekly STARRED review ""Natalie Beach is a writer whose work feels like it contains the force of a revelation. These essays both delighted and astonished me, often within the same sentence, for their ribald and vulnerable intimacy, the canny insight with which she examines how we shape ourselves within friendships, within clothes--from low-rise jeans to soccer shorts--within the various pressures and structures of modern life. This debut marks the arrival of a major new talent, a voice readers are going to deeply identify with and love, to read and re-read again and again.""--Mary South, author of You Will Never Be Forgotten ""From her intensely intelligent essays to her downright poetic text messages, Natalie Beach's distinctive voice combines erudition, humor, and incisiveness in a way that I've admired for many years. There's truly no one I'd rather read on the subject of existential dread and growing up. I'd devour Natalie's grocery lists if she let me!""--Amanda Montell, author of Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism"
