Bronwyn Fischer's debut novel, The Adult, is a coming-of-age story that follows Natalie, a naive young woman from a small town who comes to Toronto for college. The story is full of angst and tension, as Natalie's relationship with Nora is highly inappropriate and throws her college friendships and experiences into jeopardy. The writing is beautiful and captivating, capturing the self-consciousness and naveté of the characters. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an emotionally complex and captivating read.
