The Adults

Book The most hilarious and heartwarming debut of the year, from a totally fresh and original new voice. / Genuinely unputdownable books are rare in my experience. This is one.A brilliant, original comedy of contemporary manners. (DAILY MAIL); Caroline Hulse's The Adults gripped me from the start. With a razor-sharp eye, she dissects the nightmare of family politics. It's an assured, well-paced book, and even though we know the crisis point from the beginning, there are heaps of surprises along the way. Reminiscent of Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies, this book is a sure-fire winner' (Cass Hunter, author of The After Wife); I loved The Adults! Funny, dry and beautifully observed. Highly recommended for anyone whose Perfect Christmases never quite go according to plan! Gill Sims, bestselling author of Why Mummy Drinks. Brilliantly funny. (GOOD HOUSEKEEPING); Packed with sharp wit, engaging characters and off-beat humour, this is a fresh and feisty thrill-ride of a novel. (HEAT); Razor-sharp comedy. (SUNDAY MIRROR); Clever, perceptive and wickedly funny, this is a holiday-from-hell extravaganza not to be missed! (Lancashire Evening Post); I have a feeling Caroline Hulse might be a genius, this book is so brilliant. It's funny, clever and original - I loved every minute of reading it. Also, Posey should get a spin-off TV show (Lucy Vine, author of Hot Mess); I loved it. I couldn't believe it was a debut. It was so funny, and intriguing and I was desperate to know where it was all heading - a great read (Mike Gayle author of THE MAN I THINK I KNOW) / About the Caroline spends most of her days writing, having fulfilled her dream of having a job she could do in pyjamas. She also works in Human Resources sometimes. She is openly competitive and loves playing board and card games. She can often be found in casino poker rooms, and wishes other people would want to play Cluedo for money. She lives with her husband in Manchester where the two are captive to the whims of a small, controlling dog.
