I would have benefited from the book if I was in the 18-22 age range. At 27 this book did nothing but made me chuckle a few times. Gifting this to my sister on her 22nd birthday later on this year. She needs it more than I do.

A case of: What you see is what you get.
It wasn't very in-depth or groundbreaking, but I enjoyed it well enough.

While humorous and enlightening, some parts of it felt a little niche-y. I'm also not sure if I liked how subsections would flip-flop between guy and girl centric without any real... Logic? I feel like I would have enjoyed it much more if it were more consistently gender-neutral when it comes to adulting.
But it was still incredibly funny in a lot of places, and because it made me laugh, I'd still recommend it to friends.

This book was both unfunny and unhelpful. The authors had a very pessimistic way of looking at this world, which I understand because not everything is like the books or movies, but it was so overly pessimistic. If I met people who talked like this book in real life I don't think we'd be friends or even talk really past the first convo.
The lack of humor wasn't even made up for in suggestions on what to do. There wasn't any meat to this book and felt like a waste of 205 pages.

I picked up "Adult Stuff" thinking it would be an amusing read, if nothing else. As a twenty-something myself making my way in the world, why not see what kind of advice they could give me? Perhaps it was the way I was raised- but almost everything in Adult Stuff is common sense. Maybe the younger generations don't know the things being mentioned, like how you don't have the bank account for that vacation or a road trip shows people's true colors, but I do. As someone who also doesn't bother with alcohol, this book was mostly a waste of time for me to read. While I'm sure it was meant to be funny and sarcastic, some of the text came across very demeaning and rude. Very disappointed.
