The sections on socializing and modern etiquette are particularly refreshing, offering great advice for Gen Z in a digital-first world.

I originally got this book for my teenage twin daughters but I ended up getting so much out of this! All the things you think you know, you realize when listening to this all the things your mom may have missed (or maybe I just wasn’t listening).

The stories are good and it is very informational! I appreciated the info on nutrition but laundry and home repairs were highlights for me!

Adulting Made Simple: Navigate Life with Confidenc

"Adulting Skills 101 Unplugged" strikes a great balance between practicality and humor, making it approachable for readers stepping into adulthood. Its engaging tone makes potentially overwhelming topics feel manageable and even enjoyable. The inclusion of humor adds a refreshing twist to the standard self-help format, ensuring readers stay entertained while learning. However, the subtitle could be more concise to better grab attention. For example, focusing on "confidence, simplicity, and humor" might give it a sharper appeal.
