As memoirist Tea (Valencia) approaches age 40, she decides it's time to leave the maggot-infested refrigerator in her rundown communal house in San Francisco's Mission District and move into a place of her own. Acknowledging an arrested development resulting from years of alcoholism and addiction, she stumbles toward adulthood with the new clarity of sobriety. Along the way, she dates and breaks up with men and women, repeats affirmations for money, prays to Stevie Nicks, and slouches her way to that elusive life stage we call adulthood.
VERDICT Tea's charming and self-effacing humor makes this a delightful read for those who are on their own path to adulthood or fully developed adults who want to remind themselves of how far they've come. (Do those people exist?) [See Memoir, 12/16/14; ow.ly/MBEsA.]
