I think the author shares a lot of her experience in a unique fashion. Though I am not a fan of poetry novels, I appreciate her way of written her story. The book seems like one with a lot of lessons and events. Nice Review.

Poetry is the mirror of the society in that it encompasses the work of art through Socrates and Plato believe they don't write their own ideas.im in love with this book of poetry thought its a book for young adults but it isn't.Thanks for the review.

This is a book of free-verse poetry showing the author's life. First love is contrasted with the violence of an uprising in her hometown in Africa. Congratulations to the author for this deeply moving book selected as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent review.

I clicked on this review because the title, Adulting, is a word I frequently overuse as I navigate adulthood. I had been expecting it to be a whimsical book, as you stated. However, your review makes me think this would be a worthwhile read. Thanks for a great and insightful review!

Wonderful review! I will be checking this one out for sure. I had to read this review to change my view on what I thought the book was about. The title isn't really what it seems.
