This sounds like an interesting book. Though I'm not a fan of poetry, I'm curious to see how the author uses poetry to show us her own personal experiences. I might give this book a try, after all.

Upon reading the title I thought of something very different than what you have described in your review. Nonetheless, it seems to be a great book. I'd like to read it. Thanks for the review.

Well done for the review. In harmony with the style of writing, i wish this book should be a kind of whimsical or silly just as you mentioned in your review. I'm a little bit disappointed as this doesn't fit teenagers well. Nevertheless, I will give it a try because a like prose and poetry.

I suppose it would benefit the book much if a definition of adulting was included at the beginning of the book, although both the serious and the whimsical have their own pros and cons, of course. I may give this a look. Thanks for the review!

I enjoyed sampling this book. I'm a great fan of poetry and the first one was amazing. Nice review

The author's use of visual imagery sounds beautifully done. When poetry can do that, and keep you reading it, the author has done a nice job. This one sounds worth the read. Thank you.

Sounds like an insightful poetry book which includes many different themes. I'll give it a try thanks to your review. It seems like it's worth reading it.

I really like poetry, that's why I really think it will be a great pleasure to read this book. And I agree with you, the title takes you elsewhere, if you don't really know what the book is about. Thanks for the great review!

As an African who has lived in several continents I feel I can relate to the author's narrative. Insightful and enticing review.

I also sort of expected the book to be covering much on the adult life, or how to be a better adult. However, it sounds nice, and i would love to read about Mogeni's experiences. Thanks for the excellent review.
