Adulting 101

This is without doubt the funniest novel I read this year. It had me in stitches from the very first page. Nick and Dev's bromance is the best bromance there ever was. They are the best of bros and simply adorable. This is what true love looks like. Only in pure bro form.

Even the synopsis makes me all fuzzy and giggly now after I read the book.

So, okay. Nick is the perfect portrayal of an anxious teenager who has no idea what he's supposed to do. And I should know, I've been there. Kind of. He is incredibly bold and shy at the same time. He is very smart and lacks confidence. He is a nerd and a twink. He is all kinds of contradictions and all these make him so adorable and hilarious and, and, he's just great, okay? Gosh, he'll grow up into a wonderful man.

Jai is confident and hot and relatable. He's the type who got to see and learn things on his own, he rebelled, packed his bag and off he went to see the world. He doesn't want to settle, can't be tied down so he is pretty much itching for the next adventure. I liked him so much, his calmness and his support. He is all and so much more than Nick probably dreamed of.

Lisa Henry does an outstanding job at presenting the start of Nick and Jai's no-strings-attached/friends-with-benefits/definitely-no-feelings-at-all relationship, as well as Nick's worries and internal struggles about what lays ahead of him: college life and being apart from Devon. He is definitely just a kid, but I feel like he grew up a lot right in front of my eyes, with every turn of the page.

I loved the dynamics of both Nick's and Jai's families, very different, but both tight and caring. Nick's parents did everything right, they had Nick's best interest in mind at all times and they really did a great job. Jai's family is more laid back because of obvious reasons (once you read the book), but they are still ready to support each other no matter what.

Oh, how I loved that Jai and Ebony chatting. Gosh, I can tell all of them are going to remain tight and are going to have so much fun.

I've run out of words. Adulting 101—awesome read, I loved it so much!

It's been a while since the last time I couldn't put a book down. Now, this—this is it. Adulting 101 is a fun, light, quirky read, with great and realistic characters, and excellent sex scenes—so many though that at some point I got kinda bored with them, and that's why this is not a 5-star rating. Anyway, loved it.

I feel like I might have related too much to Nick, though.
