It doesn’t sugarcoat adulthood, but it also doesn’t scare them. I’ve already recommended it to several students and plan to add it to my classroom library.

This book is one of the best resources I’ve seen for young adults navigating life after high school. It addresses practical topics like budgeting, time management, and job prep, but also gets into the deeper stuff like boundaries, confidence, and mental wellness. I will happily start recommending this to young people who feel unprepared or stuck. It’s empowering, relatable, and packed with real-world value. Good book for sure.

As a mom of two teens getting ready to leave the nest, I found this book incredibly helpful. It covers everything I’ve tried to teach them, from budgeting to setting boundaries, but in a way they actually listened to. The tone is supportive without being preachy. I’m relieved to have a resource that reinforces the life lessons I want them to carry with them.
