Adult Drama

And Other Essays

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.

Just as interesting writing about dirt than slinging it

An impeccable assemblage of intentionally eclectic essays, narrated by the author herself. Each composition embarks on a voyage of sorts, leaving an indelible sense of longing. She is just as interesting writing about dirt as she is at slinging it when necessary. Highly recommend.
