No Adults Allowed

Résumé du livre

This is Eli's story.
A quiet, brutal unraveling told in the spaces between clinking ice cubes and unsaid words. The novel traces Eli's life from boyhood through early adulthood, shaped by the slow decay of a father who was once full of light, charm, and laughter-until alcohol hollowed him out.

Told with raw intimacy, the story doesn't flinch from the graphic reality of growing up in the shadow of addiction. Eli learns early how to read the room, how to lie, how to disappear. But escape doesn't mean freedom-not when the rhythm of your father's drinking follows you into adulthood.

As Eli begins to wrestle with his own relationship to alcohol, what starts as social drinking becomes something lonelier, quieter, and far more familiar. This is a story about inherited trauma, the echoes of abuse, and the razor-thin line between becoming and undoing.

It's about what we carry from the people who broke us-and what it takes to put ourselves back together again.
