HBL Note: Were you one of the many fans of The Bookish Life of Nina Hill that made Abbi Waxman a USA Today bestselling author? Or are you about to become a new fan? Either way, with themes of isolation, connection, and mental health and with Abbi Waxman’s signature wit, ADULT ASSEMBLY REQUIRED is bound to be one of your favorite summer reads.
There is nothing quite like a house fire that makes you think adulting isn’t all it is cracked up to be. That is something Laura Costello, the main character in Abbi’s latest novel, and I have in common. But Laura had a week in her new home and I only had two days… Ugh. House fire stories are still kind of triggering to me. Luckily, Laura is about to meet the delightfully quirky characters many of grew to love in The Bookish Life of Nina Hill when she serendipitously steps inside Nina’s Larchmont bookstore.

From the publisher:
When Laura Costello moves to Los Angeles, trying to escape an overprotective family and the haunting memories of a terrible accident, she doesn’t expect to be homeless after a week. (She’s pretty sure she didn’t start that fire — right?) She also doesn't expect to find herself adopted by a rogue bookseller, installed in a lovely but completely illegal boardinghouse, or challenged to save a losing trivia team from ignominy…but that’s what happens. Add a regretful landlady, a gorgeous housemate and an ex-boyfriend determined to put himself back in the running and you’ll see why Laura isn’t really sure she’s cut out for this adulting thing. Luckily for her, her new friends Nina, Polly and Impossibly Handsome Bob aren't sure either, but maybe if they put their heads (and hearts) together they’ll be able to make it work.
