How to Grow Up: A Memoir
Tea Michelle
A gutsy, wise memoir-in-essays from a writer praised as “impossible to put down” (People)
As an aspiring young writer in San Francisco, Michelle Tea lived in a scuzzy communal house; she drank, smoked, snorted anything she got her hands on; she toiled for the minimum wage; & she dated men & women, & sometimes both at once. But between hangovers & dead-end jobs, she scrawled in notebooks & organized dive bar poetry readings, working to make her literary dreams real.
In How to Grow Up, Tea shares her awkward stumble towards the life of a Bonafide Grown-Up: healthy, responsible, self-aware, stable. She writes about passion, about her fraught relationship with money, about adoring Barney’s while shopping at thrift stores, about breakups & the fertile ground between relationships, about roommates & rent, & about being superstitious (“why not, it imbues this harsh world of ours with a bit of magic.”).

At once heartwarming and darkly comic, How to Grow Up proves that the road less traveled may be a difficult one, but if you embrace life’s uncertainty & dust yourself off after every screw up, slowly but surely you just might make it to adulthood.
