"Adulting" is a compelling journey of self-discovery and healing. Talley's nuanced portrayal of addiction recovery and personal growth is both touching and authentic. The novel's exploration of unexpected friendships and second chances makes for an emotionally satisfying read.

This book was okay. A little cheesy and feel-good, which is obvious from the synopsis. I enjoyed following the characters on their journeys, though. The epilogue brought it down for me, though, and I was disappointed in the ending.
