Adulting 101 by Lisa Henry

4 Stars

Nick is an 18-year old high school graduate, spending his summer before college slacking off at his first real job while fantasizing about crossing one particular item off of his bucket list . . .

“Today’s life goal: blow Jai Hazenbrook.”

The story propels full speed ahead to a very awkward offer by Nick to do just that and an even more awkward moment of getting caught in the act in a not-so-romantic locale . . . .



And right there is where I knew I was in love. Oh my glob this story. How can I make you all understand how this book made me feel?????? Wait, I know! I’ll do it via an image (I know, so unlike me) . . . .



If you want to channel your inner Elf and realize that smiling is your favorite, then this is the one for you. And I’m telling you right now, spare me your complaints if you don’t end up liking this one because . . . .



I realize that Nick is more than a bit of a PITA when it comes to being a functional (almost) adult, but hell I’m not a functional adult a few days a week and I’m fucking ancient. If you ride out the story things do get explained, but seriously LIGHTEN UP. This book is all about fun, and in my case accidentally weeing in your pants a few times from trying to hold back the snortlaughs while reading at work . . .



^Truth.

Anyway, I’m not going to give much away. Just know Adulting 101 begins as a simple 10-week session of . . .



But in the end becomes something a little more substantial when it comes to learning about life, learning about growing up and maybe even learning a little about love . . . .



Many thanks to Wart for putting this gem on my radar.
