This is as good as any poetry, I'm interested in not too cruel to the other person. Just right for the title and the review

The moment I read the title I wanted to know more about this book. After reading this excellent review I think I would definitely consider reading this book as soon as I can. I think your expectations about the context of adulting were similar to mine but I would love to read more about this book

Oh wow, based on the title, I, like you, thought the book would be a humorous take on adult life. Clearly not. Thanks for the review!

As someone who writes poetry myself and who often gets told that my work is too "heavy," I think I will appreciate this book. I appreciate your review!

I appreciate how versatile the poems are, touching all the places and cultures she has lived in.

Good that we always have reviews as vivid as this. This book seems like a great read to me. This book will part of my collection now. Thank you!

Although this doesn't sound like my type of book, it may appeal to readers who like the drama of difficult subject matter. Thanks for a nicely-detailed review!

Sounds like an interesting book of poetry. Since poems are not much appealing for me, I will pass on this one. Anyway, congratulations on being BOTD and thanks for the free giveaway

This is a very interesting book to read, just from the review. Adapting to adulthood has always been a major life challenge for most people.
Congrats on making BOTD.

Oh, this is wonderful. Fans of Bukowski, or any other free-rhyme poet, should love this. Thanks for the review.

The Author's review of Adulting takes a new shape of adulthood and parenting altogether.
Adulting is a road partly filled rocks and smooth leveled pebbles indicating the thick n thin of the modern world.
This book makes Adulting take on a new positive meaning with an intriguing insight.

I had the same thoughts about the title, but I quickly forgot about my expectations and was in awe of the author’s way with words. Thanks for a great review!

This sounds like a very interesting and thought provoking read. I agree with you that the concept of adulting normally reminds me of adult tasks but said tongue in cheek in a humorous way. I like that the poems are relatable and real life as young women go through adulthood. Great and enlightening review!

Honestly, I like serious poetry. While whimsical and silly poetry can be beautiful in its own way, know that I am not at all disappointed to hear that the poems are serious. Thanks for your insight!
