How To Be A Grown Up by Daisy Buchanan @NotRollergirl @headlinepg



For fans of Bryony Gordon and Caitlin Moran, a comforting, witty, supportive book for real twenty-something women who want to discover how they can reach the end of the 'fun' decade knowing exactly who they are.
Have you ever felt lost, anxious, panicky about adulthood?
Have you ever spent a hungover Sunday crying into a bowl of cereal?
Have you ever scrolled through Instagram and felt nothing but green-eyed jealousy and evil thoughts?
Award-winning journalist, Grazia agony aunt and real-life big sister to five smart, stylish, stunning twenty-something young women, Daisy Buchanan has been there, done that and got the vajazzle.
In How to be a Grown-Up, she dispenses all the emotional and practical advice you need to negotiate a difficult decade. Covering everything from how to become more successful and confident at work, how to feel pride in yourself without needing validation from others, how to turn rivals into mentors, and how to *really* enjoy spending time on your own, this is a warm, kind, funny voice in the dark saying "Honestly don't worry, you're doing your best and you're amazing!"





How To Be A Grown Up by Daisy Buchanan was published by Headline in paperback on 6 April 2017.

So, I'm fifty years old and I've just read a book called How To Be A Grown Up. Why? Well, the number one reason is because it's written by Daisy Buchanan, and I love her. The daily email from The Pool is one of my joys in life, and when there's a piece written by Daisy in it I know that I will either laugh, sigh or ponder it for most of the day. She's one of those women who I really want to be like (despite the twenty year age gap). She's funny, and bright and oh so honest.

This book should be handed out to every girl as they leave school and enter the world of the 'grown up'. Most of us don't have an older sister who is wise enough, or has the time to tell us where we might go wrong. To let us know that it is OK to make mistakes. To explain about blokes, money, jobs and other women. Daisy does it for us, with wit and down-to-earth honesty.

I cried with laughter and I gulped back a couple of sobs, because it is clear that although Daisy is full of wisdom today, she learned the hard way. She exposes her vulnerabilities, she relates her mistakes, she acknowledges that she's not and has never been, perfect.

Tips, advice, guidance - call it what you like. This book is amazing. Pure Daisy, Wonderful.
