I think this would be a great book for someone who's in college or just setting out into the world. Many of these "how to adult" life lessons pertain to dealing everyday things we adults take for granted. But likely don't teach our kids. How to manage money, communicate with people, learn about oneself, set boundaries, etc. I learned a lot about Julie's background (Harvard law, Stanford dean, etc.) and this was a well-researched book. I just wish it were shorter and had less case study examples to prove her point.

Thanks to Henry Holt and Co. for the advanced reader copy, via NetGalley. I also purchased the audiobook. This is my honest review.

A great companion read to How to Raise an Adult for parents and young adults. Invaluable life lessons for all ages.

While I think there's some good advice in this book, it was way too long for what it had to say. I don't need pages and pages of multiple personal stories for every point. Too much rambling just leads to boredom and the reader starting to skim.
