Jenny has texted an impassioned cry for help to her best friend Kelly, but had no reply. Her mind turns to her relationship with her ex-boyfriend Art.

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.

Adults is read by Jessica Raine.
Abridged by Rowan Routh
Produced by Nicola Holloway
