From the short summary inside I expected a much funnier novel but it was not bad either. It is like a short autobiography of Arden Rose but in my case is very relatable, it seems like we are twins. I bought the book because it sounded interesting I didn't even know that she is a famous Youtuber!
All in all I can say that is very entertaining and gives you the typical messages like "Do not care what other people think", etc. Nevertheless I have to say that I enjoyed reading it because it was easygoing and relieving that someone thinks the way I do. Great Work Arden. I will check out your YouTube channel some time soon!

I have been following Arden for years on YouTube etc. and when a friend gave me the book to borrow I couldn't resist this cheeky little read. But what I did not expect was 200 pages of solid advice on life and to absolutely love this book! I feel like a lot of these chapters are going to stick with me for years to come.

Cute quick read - perfect for young women going into college
A Rachel Hollis for 15-21 year olds. I was not her targeting demographic, but the book is so short I allowed the inertia of the audiobook format to take me to the conclusion.
I love Arden and I love that she isn't really an adult that I can relate to in any way - amazing job? wonderful loving British boyfriend? mental illness in complete recession? AND younger than me? ha ha. Still love her though, and this was a cUTE, quick and honest read 💖
Couldn't get past page 30. I didn't know the writer was a YouTuber and I certainly wouldn't have bought the book if I had known. There are some themes in the book that would be interesting to a 14 year old if the author didn't include her life story and just got to point. Overall, a waste of money.
i didn't expect it at all but I LOVE THIS!!! i am so dissapointed in all the bad reviews it got in this app, people somehow didn't like it as much as me? i get what they are saying, about how this book isn't really about adulting, more like arden's personal story with adulthood, but still, it had a lot of good tips and material about it, and it was so interesting that i defently im looking past that. and personally i knew i was not going to get a map into how to be an adult, (that would be such a boring concept), and even arden tells you that in the first chapter! there is no right answer, and yes, she can only talk to you about her own expierence because why would she talk about someone else? this is a memoir, and maybe it wasn't sold as one, but it is, and it is a great one!
with that being said, let me get into why i just adored this book.
1. i listened to it on scribd, because it was my last week with the suscription and arden narrates it beautifully, she is so good! it was just addicting, and i couldnt wait to got on my everyday walk to listen to arden tell me about her life and struggles and cute british boyfriend that i wish i had. it was so much fun, and really thought about my own life while listening to hers. and it felt more like a conversation with a friend than someone just telling you what to do or feel, arden was honest and sincere and never forced you to feel something you didn't want to feel.
2. we are so similar! we are literally two person who are the same lost 8 hours from eachother, we both look very different (she looks like a model while i look like a whale) we both speak very different langauges, yet, we are really fucking similar in the way we think and live. she is so incredibly passionated, and caring, but she is not a stranger to fucking up and she admits that. she had dealt with self harming tendencies before, and i've been there as well, even if it was a different scenario. she is very emotional and has cried everywhere, let me tell you i am as well, and i just related to every single paragraph about crying because you are selfish, and inmature, and you got pride and you cannot ask for help, even when there are tears in your eyes.
she loves her alone time! and i LOVE my alone time. i always felt so weird, and guilty for just wanting to cancel on my friends and stay in bed binging movies till the sun comes up. and getting to listen to arden tell me that is okay to be like that, that she is like that, that she LOVES her alone time as well. all you just need is your balance, idk made me feel really great.
3. i loved her writting! for a book written by a youtuber let me tell you.. (i havent actually read any other than this one) but i know, for a fact, that there must be tons of crap out there. and arden is not one of them, she knows how to write and describe while being fun and keeping it simple. i loved what she had to say, and we both are very similar when we write.
that being said, let me go ahead and binge watch all of her videos and instagram pictures and everything arden because i loveeeeee that woman!

I was really excited when Arden announced that she was releasing a book. I've been subscribed to her for years and extremely enjoy her content. I read this book in one sitting and I enjoyed it. The only reason it didn't get four or five stars from me is because I didn't research it enough to know that it is more geared toward teenagers. There's nothing wrong with that it just wasn't entirely what I expected nor was it necessarily relevant to me now. But BOY could I have used a book like this when I was 17.
Very easy and flowing read. A lot of potential for learning for teenage/YA readers. This book should not be a "self-help" book though. It was a good memoir, I liked reading about Arden's life and how she expanded upon some things she talks about in her videos (OCD, for example). She shows how she got through her life, but it does not tell you how to "become an adult" in your own life. Especially since she writes how peoples ideas and feelings can be completely different from her own, and that is okay. There was a lot of showing of her life, but not so much telling "how to get it together as an adult".
If you want an entertaining and quick read, and some enjoyable Arden Rose humor, read it. If you want a self-help for adulting, maybe there's some better choices out there.
