Summary:
"While the practical aspects of new adulthood can be nerve-wracking - dating, job-hunting, money-managing - the most important task of all is figuring out who you are and where you fit in the world. Author and comedian Sara Benincasa, now in her mid-thirties, had an absolutely harrowing early twenties and now, on the
other
side, she has hard-earned wisdom and common sense to share. 52 witty, provocative essays on how to live like a
real
adult - especially for those who have chosen a slightly more offbeat path to get there. For everyone from twenty-somethings and recent college grads to anyone a bit older who's still trying to figure
things
out. Sara Benincasa is a comedian and the author of the books "DC Trip" (2015) "Great" (2014) and "Agorafabulous!: Dispatches From My Bedroom" (2012). She also wrote a very silly book called "Tim Kaine Is Your Nice Dad" (2016). She was born and raised in New Jersey and now lives in Los Angeles.
