Synopsis

Alida Nugent graduated college with a degree in one hand and a drink in the other, eager to trade in parties and all-nighters for "the real world". But post-grad wasn't the glam life she imagined. Soon buried under a pile of bills, laundry, and three-dollar bottles of wine, it quickly became clear that she had no idea what she was doing. But hey, what twentysomething does? In Don't Worry, It Gets Worse, Nugent shares what it takes to make the awkward leap from undergrad to "mature and responsible adult that definitely never eats peanut butter straight from the jar and considers it a meal". From trying to find an apartment on the black hole otherwise known as Craigslist to the creative maneuvering needed to pay off student loans and still enjoy happy hour, Nugent documents the formative moments of being a twentysomething with a little bit of snark and a lot of heart. Perfect for fans of HBO's Girls and Allie Brosh's Hyperbole and a Half, and based on her popular Tumblr blog The Frenemy, Don't Worry, It Gets Worse is a love note to boozin', bitchin' ladies everywhere.

This book made me feel better about where I am as a twenty-something. At least I have it better figured out than this author!......more

When I saw a customer come through my till with this book, I took one look at the cover and said, "At last, a book about the great struggle for millennials to get a toe-hold in this crazy world!" You can even punctuate that previous in-my-head declaration by scrunching my two degrees into some sort......more

Goodreads review by Julissa on February 04, 2016

2.5 stars I guess I was expecting -despite the title of the book- that it gets... better. I wasn't expecting to find all the answers to my twenty-something-I'm-lost-and-still-don't-know-what-the-F-to-do-with-my-life-eternal-crisis but at least I was expecting to find her answers! But no, this is a dia......more

Goodreads review by kylajaclyn on July 23, 2015

I want to give Alida Nugent (and many other 23-year-olds, including my roommate) a copy of Adulting, because I feel she really needs it. I bought this book with a handful of other 20-something books Amazon recommended to me, and therefore I did not realize that Alida's best friend is alcohol and she......more
