Modern Lovers
Emma Straub
Friends and former college bandmates Elizabeth, Andrew, and Zoe have watched one another marry, buy real estate, and face the many vicissitudes of life together in their shared Brooklyn neighborhood of Ditmas Park. But as they approach middle age, they are forced to reckon with the secrets they've kept since their youth—and the legacy of their fourth bandmate, Lydia, who became a world-famous rock star and died young. When Lydia’s estate becomes the subject of a potential biopic, and Elizabeth and Andrew's teenage son Harry starts a summer romance with Zoe’s daughter Ruby, the group's tightly knit lives begin to unravel. Modern Lovers is a wise and funny exploration of the messy transition from the passions of youth to the complexities of adulthood.
