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 countries most beloved comedians and author of the Sunday Times bestseller STRAIGHT OUTTA CRAWLEY comes the hilarious and painfully accurate dissection of what it really means to grow up.

Reviews

'There's both side-splitting humour and a tenderness to comedian and writer Romesh Ranganathan's latest book' * Red Magazine *
Hilariously told, this personal interrogation is both relatable and comforting, recognising that nobody really knows how to be a grown-up. * Radio Times *
"One of the funniest people in the world. Annoyingly talented at everything he does which includes writing books. As Good As it Gets is hilarious. Is there anything this man can't do Yes: most sports." * Rob Beckett *
"Annoyingly I enjoyed this book as much as I do seeing Romesh live" * Seann Walsh *
