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.

Great, Funny and Hyper-Real
Perfect at such a bad point in the world, Rom speaks the truth, which even for a comedian is refreshing

A life story that could be your life story.
It's a great mirror to what we should expect from life but lacks Romesh deadpan delivery to make it laugh out loud.

Sincere and hilarious
Hilariously relatable, excellent topic points. Love the honesty Rom & Lisa have in their relationship, I'd be very interested in a Combo audio book or perhaps Lisa's P.O.V
I Highly recomend this book.

Agree to disagree
Great book, although I definitely do not agree with everything he says. His views are delivered in a very funny way; which actually makes me wonder what it would be like to have a one on one conversation with this guy. Great delivery and I look forward to the next one.

Romesh is a comedy genius
Quick quips and stories about Romesh's life that mirror my own, but much much funnier
