Description

Who feels like a grown up when they're twenty-one? Or, well, ever? With a significant birthday fast approaching, journalist and agony aunt Daisy Buchanan found herself worrying about whether or not she was a 'proper' adult yet. Her twenties had been a familiar tale of bad boyfriends, worse jobs, money worries, and mistakes. But was she getting it so wrong? Or was she learning vital life lessons along the way? In her unstintingly honest and hilarious account of a defining decade, Daisy shares her personal highs and lows in order to show us that there is no perfect path to adulthood - but we're all far stronger, smarter, and closer to being a grown-up than we realise...

Advance Praise

“How to Be a Grown Up is like taking a bubble bath with your best friend: giggle-inducing, slightly awkward, warm, comforting, and leaves you feeling more relaxed and less alone in the world. When it comes to surviving your twenties (and beyond), Daisy offers the best of her own hard-won wisdom and perspective, in part by sharing all of the hilariously mortifying ways that she acquired it so you don’t have to. I loved it.”

—Sarah Knight, internationally bestselling author of Grow the F*ck Up
