Great review. You're absolutely right about the title being a bit misleading but the content of the book kind of evens that one out.

Your review is amazing. I love how you've pointed out what you didn't like about the book. It's objective. I was also expecting something to do with adulthood. Congratulation to the author on BOTD.

This review is such a persuasive portrayal of the story. The cover has me enticed and this review has urged me to begin reading the story as soon as possible.

I'm not a poetry person, but I'm intrigued by this phrase from the review of the book; "The topics are, as a whole, serious and eye-opening." It brings out the impression that the book is promising. I will read the book. Congratulations to the author and BOTD.

Great review, it describes the book perfectly. When I saw the cover I also hoped that the poems would be funny and light, but still a good read

Thank you for the informative review. I do like reading poetry but I prefer the "lighter" kind. The writings in this book, however beautifully written, sounds a bit dark for me. Congratulations on BOTD though.

I had a different understanding of the book title at first, I am glad the reviewer emphasized on it. I might not be the right audience for this kind of book but it sounds like a great book. Good luck to the readers.Thanks for your honest review.

This poetry book sounds like it has vivid descriptions and has the ability to leave the reader with different perspectives. I'm looking forward to reading this book of poetry. Great review!

It looks like it is fun to read kind of poetry. I am not a very big fan of poetry but the topics make me inquisitive to give a read.
The review has been explained in a well engaging way. Kudos!!!!

Graphic sexual scenes will keep me away, although I had been intrigued by the author's ability to paint a scene.
