Praise for "The Vacationers"
"For those unable to jet off to a Spanish island this summer, reading "The Vacationers" may be the next-best thing. . . . [A] gorgeously written novel . . . When I turned the last page, I felt as I often do when a vacation is over: grateful for the trip and mourning its end." "The New York Times Book Review"
"There's nothing more addictive than a darkly funny dysfunctional domestic drama. Straub's novel set during a fraught family vacation in Mallorca is pretty much the perfect beach read." "Entertainment Weekly"
"Emma Straub puts the fun back in dysfunction." "San Francisco Chronicle"
"Delicious . . . richly riveting . . ." The Vacationers" offers all the delights of a fluffy, read-it-with-sunglasses-on-the-beach read, made substantial by the exceptional wit, insight, intelligence and talents of its author." "People" (four stars)"

“It’s ‘Friends’ meets ‘Almost Famous’ meets the beach read you’ll be recommending all summer.” –TheSkimm

From the author of the New York Times bestseller The Vacationers, a smart, highly entertaining novel about a tight-knit group of friends from college— and what it means to finally grow up, well after adulthood has set in. 

Friends and former college bandmates Elizabeth and Andrew and Zoe have watched one another marry, buy real estate, and start businesses and families, all while trying to hold on to the identities of their youth. But nothing ages them like having to suddenly pass the torch (of sexuality, independence, and the ineffable alchemy of cool) to their own offspring.
