Adulting: How to Become a Grown-Up in 468 Easy(ish) Steps by Kelly Williams Brown is a well worth read! Brown has gathered information useful for both those new to the life of adulthood, and the old timer who wants some advice from others. Her book touches on practical subjects, like cleaning and cooking, as well as personal subjects, like love and family relationships.
While reading this book I could not put it down! Being a young adult, I found the advice she presented as quite useful and I can see myself referencing to it often in the future. My favorite part was when she broke down the idea some people have, that induces them to think, that everyone should care for their needs, whether or not they know them personally. I laughed so hard at this early part of the book since I see this idea pushed many times over within my age group.
I would recommend anyone who enjoys advice with a dash of comedy thrown in to read this book. The chapters go by quickly, so I am thankful it is not a particularly thin book. It is well written and the categories are well structured so it is easy to find information.
The only real critic I have on this book is how she steps around the topic of radically unpleasant or abusive family when it comes to her chapter on how to deal with the lot. In this particular chapter she does address how unhealthy families exist and, though I do understand that she is trying to address the larger crowd of readers, I would be interested on her views on what to do in unsavory family circumstances. Some examples could be: if your parent is a drunk or if your cousin is a radical racist by following the ways of their parents. I would find it interesting. Who knows, maybe she is making that a book on it's own! If she publishes it I will be delighted to read it!
