ADULTING
How to Become a Grown-Up in 468 Easy(ish) Steps
"Adult" isn't a noun, it's a verb. Adulting is a fun guidebook to remedying your growing-up problems, written by someone who herself has dozens of them on a daily basis.
The book is full of sometimes practical, sometimes whimsical advice on the steps we all must take on the path to adulthood. It's part how-to – throw a simple dinner party, make friends in a new city, fake it 'til you make it. It's part etiquette – what do you say when a friend's parent has died? How do you write a thank you note, and to whom should you send it? (Hint: everyone.) How do you begin the process of establishing an adult relationship with your parents? Or your boyfriend’s parents? How much, exactly, can you drink at work functions? Beyond being a perfect book for this particular time, Adulting is about a truly universal emotion. Not everyone needs, (or wants), to achieve a high-powered career, to find a husband, or to attain domestic goddess status. But if we're lucky enough not to die in the process, every single person must grow up. Kelly Williams Brown is an immensely charming writer with the potential to be the next Sloane Crosley or Sarah Vowell; she’s got that wry-but-cute thing down, and a great eye for detail that slip by most of us unnoticed. She’s such a star at the Oregon Statesman-Journal that they’ve branded the entire paper around her. Television rights have been optioned by Warner Brothers, with JJ Abrams signed on to produce.
