Length4h 3m
About this audiobook
Let’s be real: Adulthood is not the magical land of freedom we all thought it would be. It’s more like wandering into a never-ending obstacle course without a map, snacks, or even decent Wi-Fi. Maybe you’ve found yourself standing in a grocery store, wondering if “sell by” dates are a suggestion, or if buying off-brand mac and cheese will actually end in tragedy. Maybe you’ve stared at your bank account and wondered if you accidentally bought a small yacht last month, because where did all your money go? Or maybe you’ve gone to do laundry and realized you have exactly one sock, a pair of jeans with mystery stains, and an overwhelming urge to just set everything on fire and start over.
