bought the book for myself I am fifty, but I feel like I m barely civilized Seriously, it doesn t matter what the memo was, I am always feeling like I didn t get the memo For example I recently learned that you are supposed to take your car to the mechanic every 30K miles before it breaks down Wow, what a life changer I kept stopping people and saying...This book was super entertaining I really have few complaints about it, but the issue with the matter is that I read this book too soon I assumed adulthood began at age 18 so this book would benefit me, but this isgeared toward college graduates and people trying to figure out their lives away from home Therefore, I felt like half of the advice in this book went in one ear and out the other because I didn t have to think about stuff like that yet A lot of the advice in this book was a This book was super entertaining I really have few complaints about it, but the issue with the matter is that I read this book too soon I assumed

in this book went in one ear and out the other because I didn t have to think about stuff like that yet A lot of the advice in this book was a little bit long winded Some of the steps were things I didn t know, but the pace of this book was dragged down by a weighty explanation after almost every step, even when the step itself was self explanatory Some topics cough taxes still went way over my head, because she would say, Oh, you need to do this but she wouldn t expla...I have mixed feelings on this book I wanted to love it, but mostly I just kept wishing it was written by Captain Awkward Sidenote WHY HASN T CAPTAIN AWKWARD WRITTEN A BOOK YET I ve learnedabout being an adult from that blog than from anything in this book.I was actually enjoying this book a lot until I got to Step 276 Keep an eye on weight gain insert scratching record noise Wait, what I thought I was reading a chill book and now it s going to fat shame me Especially after I I have mixed feelings on this book I

insurance, house cleaning tips, emergency numbers you should have programmed into your phone And I like the idea of adulting as a verb, and most of the interpersonal advice was solid.However, it was written for a fairly particular audience college educated, middle class, gender conforming, white, etc Even though I fit a lot of those descriptors, I still At 26, I already have some good years of

would have been a god send to 22 year old me.Hell, it was helpful for 26 year old me.Though it shouldn t necessarily be treated...Right now I honestly don t think I will bother finishing this book I expected Adulting to be charming, witty, and full of good advice In actuality it is pretentious, annoying, and sometimes has questionable advice I read to page 113, but I did skip the cooking chapter for the most part I already like to cook so the majority of this advice was rudimentary in my case What I dislike the most about this book is that her advice is sometimes too specific in a way that it doesn t seem like she Right now I honestly don t think I will bother finishing this book I expected Adulting to be charming, witty, and full of good advice In actuality it is pretentious, annoying,

book got 3 stars because there was some helpful information in it and it was quite funny However, this book champions one way of adulting that is very middle class, North American, white collar professional Not everyone wants or can aspire for this life Upholding it as the correct way to adult though there is a disclaimer at the beginning to pick and choose what steps to follow is naive and excluding of many different sorts of people and lifestyles I was hoping for this book to prov This book got 3 stars because there was some helpful ...I m a fan of Kelly Williams Brown s Adulting blog adultingblog.com , on which this book is based, but this is a case where I think the blog is better than the book Life advice is best doled in small, dense nuggets rather than binged at once, and I can t pace myself with a book I also think the random order in the blog works better, with heavy advice ...This book was literally written for the most absolutely lost young adults on the planet Alternate title guide to being a person Helpful if you 1 Were raised by people who did not teach you anything raised by wolves, 2 Don t know how to interact with other humans, 3 Are so incompetent that you need to know how to make sandwich or sweep a floor, 4 Did nothing but drink all through college and are now in a complete stupor and need help living This could have been cute if it w...
