Publisher's summary

For fans of Grace Helbig and Alexa Chung comes a fresh, hilarious guide to growing up your way from social media influencer and lifestyle vlogger Arden Rose.

In Almost Adulting - perfect for budding adults, failing adults, and eaters of microwave mug brownies - Arden tells you how to survive your future adulthood. Topics include:

  • Making Internet friends who are cool and not murderers
  • Flirting with someone in a way to make them think you are cool and not a murderer
  • Being in an actual relationship where you talk about your feelings in a healthy manner??? To the other person???????
  • Eating enough protein
  • Assembling a somewhat acceptable adult wardrobe when you have zero dollars
  • Going on adventures without starting to smell
  • How sex is supposed to feel, but, like, actually though

By the end of the book, you'll have learned not only how to dress yourself, how to travel alone, how to talk to strangers online, and how to date strangers (in PERSON!) but also how to pass as a real, functioning, appropriately socialized adult.

LOVE LOVE LOVE ARDEN

I’ve been wanting to read/listen to this book for awhile now. Arden doesn’t disappoint! Great YouTube content and a great book. Definitely recommend this and wish I had been able to read it like 10 years ago as a young teen. Thanks for the laughs and lessons Arden.

I wish I had listened to this book earlier.

This is such an easy read, straight to the point and very realistic. I loved it.

A much-needed talk to an older sister

This is my first audiobook ever and I’m glad I chose this one. It felt like a much-needed talk to an older sister. Thank you, dear Arden Rose, for opening up about your struggles, relationships, and sex.

Supportive + Uplifting for Young Adults and Teens too!

This was a beautiful read, and energized me to continue my adventure into adulthood! I'll be 22 later this year, and listening to you share your experiences and words of wisdom, I feel jazzed about adulting, while still keeping childlike wonder!

I loved the chapter in which you spoke about getting addicted to waking up early, only to realize you have plenty of time to do that later in life, and it's okay to stay up past 'bedtime' if it means sharing a moment with your boyfriend and having fun. It really resonated with me because I love the sunny calm mornings, with picturesque breakfasts and crisp jogs, but I also love pulling all-nighters to play video games with my friends or draw or stay on the phone with my boyfriend (we met online as well!) - a balance of these is my ideal. Thought it was cool you've done the same :>

As a whole, I loved this book; I'm going to recommend it to my little sister, as I feel she needs to hear these lessons a bit more than me. She's more unsure of herself in life, and I see her struggling to figure things out. This book was more of a bunch of affirmations for me (pats on my back I guess), but for her I feel it would be as informative and supportive as intended - she's 16 and could use all the guidance available!

All in all, well done miss Arden Rose, I love your videos and I love this book - please keep bein' you c: ✨

Quirky and fun read!

Loved this book! It's great if you're looking for a quick "read", quirky and funny perspective on what it looks like to "grow up". I love Arden rose, I think she's hilarious, so it's an added perk that she narrates it :)
