APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This smart and sassy step-by-step guide to tackling the challenges of being grown up is a real game-changer. Popular blogger Kelly Williams Brown offers practical how-tos and useful info on everything from plunging a toilet to negotiating a higher salary in this invaluable guide to…well, just about everything. She covers a huge range of topics, including situations that stump even the most seemingly “together” people, like how and when to write thank-you notes and follow-up emails. The book even has great recipes like brown sugar bacon and homestyle mashed potatoes, and brilliant tips that feel like top-secret life hacks. (Who knew applying hairspray under your arms after deodorant could protect your clothes from those dreaded white streaks?) We adored the vibrant, fun energy of narrator Anjili Pal so much, we were smiling as we learned how to file our taxes. Whether you’re a high-school student or a seasoned homeowner, if you’re old enough to wonder about how to fold a fitted sheet, you're the right age for Adulting.

A long list
It’s a literal list. The beginning was fun, but just going through a list of 100+ items is exhausting, no matter how witty the author tries to be.
Not what I was expecting.
