This book probably wasn't meant to be read cover to cover but I did it anyway. The book has different sections (Money, Maintenance, Job, etc.) and also has a handy index at the back for specific issues that may be new and or scary to the new adult. It's mostly fun but also quite practical in some cases. A lot of this book is common sense but some of it so common sense as to be not considered - like checking if the outlets in your prospective apartment work. Some advice seemed a little more of judgment call to me - the amount of times a thank you note is suggested seems a little over the top and office wardrobe and personal grooming are matters of taste and situation. Overall though it was an enjoyable read with some helpful tips for those both new to adulting and those who should be experts by now.
