Mia believes that Jenny is distressed after breaking up with Art, but in fact Jenny is more upset by losing one of her most important social media followers.

Jenny's life is unravelling. Her boss, Mia, thinks she's upset about breaking up with Art, but in fact Jenny is far more distressed about losing a follower on social media. As if matters couldn't get worse, an unexpected housemate arrives.

Welcome to Adults - Emma Jane Unsworth’s funny and moving novel about Jenny, a thirty five year old woman trying to find her place in the world. Jenny knows she’s grown up, but she doesn’t feel very grown up – she lives in a house share, she still has issues with her mother and she’s split up with the man she thought might have been her forever man. She feels too old for her job at an achingly hip magazine, yet remains obsessed by social media. Meanwhile her friend Kelly really does have grown up concerns – a son, and bills to pay.
