Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Little Book of Adulting
Quentin Parker · 2018
64/100
👎 Skip It
A pocket-sized, illustrated, funny take on adulting basics that's more gift book than deep guide — great for a quick laugh and a few handy diagrams, thinner on real substance. A student reviewer went in skeptical of the tiny format and came around, but 128 pages just can't carry the weight of a full guide.
