Description

"Adult" isn't a noun, it's a verb. Or so posits Kelly Williams Brown in this delightful book . ADULTING is an incredibly wise, absurdly relatable, totally hilarious guide to all the things that young adults think that they should know already - but don't. Whether it's the sound logic behind buying toilet paper in bulk, or the argument for not discussing your superstitions in public, Kelly offers simple, effective, actionable tips that put her readers on the path to feeling like a real person.
How can a busy person learn more about the world? Listen to NPR while getting ready in the morning. What should someone check for when renting a new apartment? Not just the nearby bars, but the faucets and stove, among other things. Will making a Facebook status about your break up help you to feel better? Oh girl, no. With Kelly's guidance, the scary, confusing "real world" becomes approachable, manageable... even conquerable? One made bed at a time.
What really sets ADULTING apart from other domesticity and lifestyle guides is Kelly's voice. She's the way-more-fun Virgil for your journey through the seven circles of adulthood. Whether comparing the passivity of house plants to Katie Holmes or explaining the perils of financial recklessness by admitting to having her debit card declined at a Popeye's, Kelly will delight and resonate with aspiring grown-ups of all ages.
