Summary
For fans of Bryony Gordon and Caitlin Moran, a comforting, witty, supportive book for real 20-something women who want to discover how they can reach the end of the 'fun' decade knowing exactly who they are.
Have you ever felt lost, anxious, panicky about adulthood? Have you ever spent a hungover Sunday crying into a bowl of cereal? Have you ever scrolled through Instagram and felt nothing but green-eyed jealousy and evil thoughts? Award-winning journalist, Grazia agony aunt and real-life big sister to five smart, stylish, stunning 20-something young women, Daisy Buchanan has been there, done that and got the vajazzle.
In How to be a Grown-Up, she dispenses all the emotional and practical advice you need to negotiate a difficult decade. Covering everything including how to become more successful and confident at work, how to feel pride in yourself without needing validation from others, how to turn rivals into mentors and how to really enjoy spending time on your own, this is a warm, kind, funny voice in the dark saying, "Honestly, don't worry. You're doing your best, and you're amazing!

A lovely, warm-hearted guide to adulting
This is a millennial feminist manifesto disguised as self-help (and all the better for it)! I wish I’d had this book to read when I was in my 20s. So generous, wise and gentle in its advice, Daisy is very open (and brave) with the examples she shares from her own life, from money worries and mental health to sexual assault. I didn’t want it to end.

A great book.
I really enjoyed this, it wasn’t a patronising list of things to do like most books of this genre. It was genuinely useful. Some great laugh out loud moments and a lot of relatable moments. I couldn’t recommend it enough.

The comparisons and the anecdotes were OTT
Was a bit OTT, sounds like a teenager's diary and the silly anecdotes and repetitive comparisons were irritating. The over all idea was a nice one and she has good points but they are often lost with the rambling similes and metaphors

Loved this book, so witty and honest, great story!
I loved the honesty of each account describing the mistakes and failings of young adulthood and how it's these times that help shape and grow us.

Great words, made me smile :)
I loved the honesty and dry humour of this book, I could relate to it so much! I personally think that audiobooks are never as good when they're not read by the author themselves, but the actual content was fab!

Must read for every 30 something
If your panicking about life and what you have achieved by 30 then please read this book. It may not be everyone's taste but it will definitely make you feel like your not alone in the mistakes you still make as a 'grown up'
