Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Confronted by the realities of adulthood, Romesh Ranganathan must face an uncomfortable truth: this is not quite how he imagined it.
Watching his friends descend into middle age, his waistline thicken and his finances dwindle to fund his family’s middle class aspirations, Romesh reflects on the demands of daily life and the challenges of adulting in the modern world.
As he reluctantly concludes that he is indeed a grown man, Rom wrestles with the greater questions that threaten his being: could I save my family in a crisis? Do I possess the skills to assemble flatpack furniture? Am I too old for streetwear? Is it alright to parent my kids through the medium of Fortnite? Is celibacy the secret to a passionate marriage?
From one of the country's most beloved comedians and author of the Sunday Times best seller Straight Outta Crawley comes the hilarious and painfully accurate dissection of what it really means to grow up.

Absolute banger!
Hilarious and yet poignant and insightful in places. Had me genuinely laughing out loud. A superb comedian and his own reading really adds to it. Not exactly a story as such, more like mini stand up bits. Absolutely loved every word! Thanks Romesh.

Fantastic-c will definitely listen to again
Absolutely loved it. I loved his first audiobook, loved this one. Not only was it entertaining but it was also insightful, honest and touched on subjects such as friendships, socialising and mental health in a way I think about them as well. I really hope he does a third and was delighted when he announced this one was coming out.
