Summary
Every decade, give or take a few years, Hazel Stein wakes up on a party bus complete with neon lighting, purple argyle carpet, and a mini bar, to find seven other Hazels from throughout her lifetime: There's Hazel at age eight, making paper airplanes out of napkins; eighteen, with catastrophic bangs and the insecurities to match; twenty-eight, who’s still learning to be independent and has no idea how hot she is; thirty-nine, flush with the exhilaration and anxiety of new motherhood; forty-nine, gaunt and bald (she’s so terrifying, the other Hazels can barely look her in the eye); fifty-seven, whose ring finger is suddenly, disturbingly bare; sixty-eight, the happy victim of overzealous injectables; and seventy-seven, with wiry white hair, a gash on her forehead, and threadbare clothes.
Together, they must unravel the mysteries of Hazel’s life and tell the story of their three great loves—from an unforgettable one-night stand at the turn of the millennium, to friendships that span decades and continents; from the chaos of the “sandwich” years, to the reality-warping grief of unexpected loss. Together, they ask: What do we owe to the people we used to be, and those we’ve yet to become—especially when time makes them feel like strangers to us? Is this recurring reunion a blessing or a curse? Are the future Hazels cautionary tales to be avoided at all costs, or does is their presence proof her fate is already set in stone?
Poignant, exuberant, and wise in turn, All Together Now is a dazzling journey through the moments that make up life’s unimaginable, spectacular bounty, and a celebration of the endlessly surprising process of becoming ourselves.
