After thirty long years, Louisa’s daughters can finally look after themselves … or so she thinks.

Because suddenly, they’re back – apparently for good. Meg’s second-guessing her marriage. Jo’s career hangs in the balance. Amy has inexplicably quit university. None of them empty the dishwasher.

Louisa knows it’s time for some life lessons. She adores her girls, but if she’s ever going to get her (sex) life back, they’ll have to grow up – and go.

But maybe they’re not the only ones with lessons to learn… And Louisa might just discover that her daughters have something to teach her about being an adult too.

'What a gorgeous book! Such a charming, warm, optimistic read. Just beautiful.' Marian Keyes

Critic reviews

It's a triumph! Funny, moving, a family-based drama at its best. (Amy Rowland)
Funny, warm, a real joy of a read
Uplifting . . . Witty and wise, ALL GROWN UP is a reminder that there are salient life lessons to be learned whatever your age (Eithne Farry)
A witty retelling of a much-loved classic
Funny, tender & relatable at every level... quite simply, wonderful (Jennie Godfrey)
What a GORGEOUS book! Such a charming, warm, optimistic read, exactly what I CRAVE. Just beautiful. An inspired premise, beautifully executed. (Marian Keyes)
An absolute delight - impossibly funny, astute, candid and moving - I think Louisa M Alcott would be blown away by Daisy Buchanan's wonderful reimagining of the March sisters. And what a treat to spend time with their brilliant, battle-wearing and achingly human mother. A standout novel. (Rosie Walsh)
Riotously funny, achingly tender... a book to treat yourself to (Julia Raeside)
Truly fresh, wildly funny and completely charming... some of the most perceptive writing on motherhood I’ve ever read. I adored it (Lauren Bravo)
Funny, moving, and wonderfully tender. All Grown Up is a joyful reminder that growing up never really ends. (Louise O'Neill)

I enjoyed the twists and turns in the story. Switching between narrators was interesting - at times I was wondering what was happening to the other threads of the story, then I’d get immersed in the current one and it would take a few moments to remember when we switched back. I wasn’t sure whether to keep listening at the start - there seemed to be no end of stereotypical characters and it seemed quite obvious which ways things were going. I did guess a lot of what was to come but not all. I decided that what I needed right now was a women-focused story which seemed authentic but was also funny, and decided to stick with it. I’m glad I did.
