‘Oh, how I wish I’d had this book when I was twenty-one, I could’ve avoided so many stupid disasters. I love everything about this warm, funny life manual, it should honestly be required reading for humans everywhere. My favourites were the DIY and money section (because, frankly, I have no idea), and I thought the personal stories throughout were the perfect, relatable touch. Fascinating, insightful and so so helpful ― without being patronising ― Kat and Lucy are the heroes this generation desperately needs.’
Author: Lucy Vine Source: Author of Hot Mess‘It’s a practical guide interspersed with personal anecdotes ... they’ve compiled the hottest know-how into one simple tome. From emergency DIY tips to dressing for the office, it’s the adult stuff you need to know.’
Source: Evening Standard‘It gives you the life skills you should’ve been taught in school ... And, crucially, it also gives you lowdowns on the serious stuff ... The thing about Being an Adult is it covers everything ... This book should be thrust into the hands of every graduating student as they walk across the stage.’
Source: Stylist‘I can’t believe nobody had published this when I was twenty ... it’s so thorough so obviously orchestrated by somebody who has actually experienced and still remembers the little niggling details that can really pull your confidence down or stress you out, and they’re the things that people assume that you know but you actually don’t. I think everybody needs [this].’
