ABOUT THIS BOOK The struggle is real… Ever managed to kill a succulent after just a few days? Got seven reminder letters on the kitchen table because you forgot to pay your council tax? Become a hot mess who’s falling apart because they’ve been broken up with? Nobody told Mackie, Edele, Alex and Nat (aka the MEAN Girls) that life was going to be this way. They’re busy navigating the joys of adulthood – getting their shit together, breaking up and making up, moving out and moving on. This grown up stuff is hard but at least they’ve got each other. Welcome to the world of adulting. MY REVIEW A wonderfully enjoyable story about friendship and finding your feet in this thing called life, ALMOST ADULTS by Ali Pantony is a great summer read for all fiction fans. Four best friends are building their lives and together they have a strong relationship but individually their lives are hitting some hurdles that may change things for good. Nat is happily in love with her long-term boyfriend whom she lives with so when he comes home from a night out and breaks up with her, she is devastated and completely lost. Alex is a teacher who has a comfortable, loving relationship but she cannot help but question things in her life and wonders if she needs to make some changes. Edele has lost her job and is back living at home with her mum and brother wondering how her life has taken this turn. And then there is Mackie who is fierce, independent and knows exactly what she wants from her career and her future, but something is missing that she can't quite put her finger on. As each of these women begins to unpack their lives and their problems, their friendship will be more important than ever before because most of the time being an adult is plain hard work. With plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, there is also a sensitive and emotional element to this novel which helped me to connect with these characters who are each special in their own way. There is plenty of angst, drama, and life-changing decisions to be made, but the strength and support of their friendship was a sight to behold and there was never a dull moment with this gang of women. ALMOST ADULTS by Ali Pantony is an entertaining story about morphing from one stage of life into another, and the relationships that will get you through the tougher times, and is sure to please fiction fans everywhere.
