Adult life is full of mysteries. What should you check before renting a flat? How do you ask for a pay rise? Does anything really need to be dry cleaned? And why does everyone else seem to know these things except you? (They don’t, but this book will help.)
I co-authored Being an Adult with journalist Lucy Tobin. Published by Scribe in 2018, it’s a practical and entertaining guide to the life skills you didn’t learn at school, from when to ask for a discount or send a condolence card, to how to save money, and what you need to know before your first day at work.
We didn’t have the foresight to cover a global pandemic or cost of living crisis, but the other stuff should come in handy.
