Considering that 99% of the reviews I've seen have been from women, I'm wondering if that is just a commentary on the GoodReads demographic or on this book. My real question is: can guys get anything out of this book?

Angela Jr. I only just started listening to this one, but in the beginning she talks about this very issue and says that yes, everyone can get something out of this book.
Steph I wish I had this book before I actually became an adult (maybe at 18?). There's a great deal to learn, regardless of gender. Other than the cover, I suspect a higher number of women are more comfortable finding self-help book on adulting.
Swathi Shanmugasundaram I have read this book, and do not see why a man can not read this and get the same experience out of it. Given said that there were a couple of points in the book directly addressing a woman's anatomy. However, those were only a few and about 97 percent of the book's contents were gender neutral
Suzy Brown Not only is this book hilarious, but it's also chock-full of really interesting and helpful advice. I think everyone can benefit from the author's delightful writing style and wit. My adult-ing daughter and I are reading this together and really enjoy it. I hope to read it with my adult-ing son too!
Jbussen God I wish I had this book at 18. Absolutely a guy can not just use this book, but get an insight into why women act like that when you shack up. I had to learn all this the hard way. In hindsight "Adulting" seems obvious. I have to say though, I made lots of the stupid or thoughtless mistakes in this book. I am planning on asking my (insert child turning to adult) to peruse this.
