This was amusing and a great guide on how not to be an asshole that I could recommend to a few choice people. I would say they know who they are, but they probably don't. It wasn't exactly helpful on things I really wanted to know about adulthood like stock shares, finding an apartment, all that jazz but it was a fun read. I'm surprised I flew right through it so fast.
Gave this a read, even though I expected it to be similar to a handful of books I've read with this same premise. It's mostly full of shallow anecdotal advice about "not being an asshole" that anyone over the age of 18 should recognize as common sense. Slightly humorous, but not really.
Funny and good advise for anyone in their 20’s!
Loved it.
Great advice even if your beginning adulthood is taking place in your 50s.

picked up this book because my friend said it was funny. well, mildly. the book mainly talked about how not to be an asshole, but most people that are reading such books probably aren’t assholes. enjoyed the part where the author wrote that people probably don’t know what they are doing anyway most of the time, and it was oddly comforting to me lmao
This taught me valuable thoughts and made me laugh at the same time. It’s fairly long but I finished it in just two days because I couldn’t stop reading. I am awesome. I am enough. I believe in myself, and also in you. Thank you for reminding me of that. Your advice is to never read the comments, but I don’t lose hope that you’re going to read this one review. Anyway, your words have made a new-adult Spanish girl’s life better. I’m grateful for this book. Mission accomplished, author (wink).

This book was mildly helpful. I picked up tips about how to network, but the book mostly focused on how to not be a terrible person. Which isn't a bad thing, but I'd consider myself a pretty decent person already so most of the advice wasn't really helpful. What really bugged me about the book was that I felt that it was trying too hard to be relatable. All-in-all, it was a quick read and I did get some life-affirming things out of it so it wasn't a complete waste.
This book reads a bit like it was taken from Tumblr, including basic advice on applying for jobs, respectful ways to find and end relationships, and how to be a decent human being.
