Adulting 101 by Lisa Henry
4.0
4.5 Stars!
This is a Lisa Henry I’ve never seen before. Well, maybe with her DiscontentedWinter alter ego, but I typically associate her with angst, drama, and suspense. This was the complete opposite.
Know that you’ll get totally likeable characters in the spastic Nick, who lacks a bit of confidence but never on spewing what’s immediately on his mind. It’s his last summer before college and there’s lots of pressure to prepare for the next level. However, Nick’s drowning in the expectations others have of him, and all he wants to do is hook up with his sexy coworker Jai.
Jai’s time in town is fleeting. He’s home for the summer to earn money before he leaves off again to travel the world for the rest of the year, but there’s a snag in his plans and it comes in the form of the bumbling, no filter Nick, who propositions him. How can Jai say no?
This overflows with funny and embarrassment and cock blocking in all forms of epic proportions. It was smart with pop culture love, and this made me laugh as Nick and Jai struggle to figure out their wants and needs and goals. Don’t worry, as this never shorts the reader on the feels either.
I should know better than to think Henry could ever be a one note author. Again, full of humor that’s in the spirit of American Pie but oh so much more. This was a fabulous reprieve from #reallifeproblems that I very much appreciated and was perfectly, just what I needed!
