Married to the love of her life, with a major deal for her first novel, she has everything she thought she wanted. So then why does it all feel so wrong? When she agrees to a weeklong vacation in Hawai'i with five of her oldest friends as they each approach thirty, she is hoping for an escape with the people who know her best. There is Jessie, who won’t stop talking about her new boyfriend; Mac, trying to pretend he hasn’t outgrown the group; Kyle, the eternal peacemaker; and Renzo, who brought them all together but keeps picking fights. And then, of course, there’s Liam, who Clare has barely seen since high school but somehow can’t get out of her head—or her bed.
But when a terrifying news alert shatters their peace, it becomes harder to ignore how much the world has changed since they were teenagers. As the resentments and tensions that have always simmered just beneath the surface begin to boil, Clare must ask if their shared history is enough to sustain their friendships, or if growing up might mean letting go.
With crackling wit and emotional fearlessness, When We Grow Up is a provocative portrait of friendship in a world that feels ever more unrecognizable and a searing exploration of what it means to be a good person.

Space Needle

Night view

clarimina

Very cool establishment with two floors of views of the beautiful Seattle skyline. They&rsquo;re open day and night and I missed the night views. The revolving floor was super fun for my kid and myself. The Photo Booth is interesting and we had some memorable photos. Maybe they can include some more activities inside the restaurants and have clear instructions about which lifts lead where.

Chihuly Garden and Glass

Museums

Elbik

Its an incredible art gallery that showcases the brilliance of Dale Chihuly&rsquo;s work. The vibrant combination of colors and glass creates a mesmerizing experience, truly highlighting the artist&rsquo;s creative genius. The way the gallery is designed, with its dark, minimalist layout, allows the artwork to shine even more, giving each piece its own unique presence.
