A well-written book of poetry and prose divided into 5 sections. I am glad the book didn't disappoint you despite the misleading title. I don't think it's for me, though. Not my genre. Thank you for the detailed review!

I like reading poetry books. This seems to be one of them. The Title is completely different from my expectation. The poet has done extremely great. Thanks for your review.

Your review is very professional. This book sounds serious and mature, but I will not read it, as I am a man, so it does not interest me.

I would love to read this book. Though, in general, I have found sexual content off-putting in most poetry books I have read. But, if this is handled gracefully, with the sensitivity the topic requires, I do not mind it.

I like the title of the book. Perhaps, it's because I have my own thoughts on the subject of becoming and being an adult. It will be interesting to learn the author's definition of the term "adulting".

The review really sounds captivating, life of a young teenager is a rough patches, and when turned to adult, it's another ball game. I'll surely try find time to read this book. Congrats to the author on BOTD.

I don't think I was expecting this to be a poetry book. Well, surprise! Sounds interesting to read about a youngster facing the hassles of adults so early in life. I'd love to see just how the author...or poet, crafts her tale to fit into this genre. Thanks for the review.

While in grade and high school I learned that a work of poetry may have multiple meaning. And one should try to figure out what the author meant contextually. With this in mind the title maybe perfect though readers didn't figure it out. Good review.

“Adulting” might sound like a funny term, but based on how everyone I know likes to use it, it seems to me to be one of life’s “if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry” situations. It sounds like this poetry book explores this idea and what else it means to “adult” very deeply and perfectly. Thank you for the helpful review.

Based on the title, I was not expecting the book to be about such serious issues. Though, it still sounds wonderful and I really like how the author has used visual imagery to portray the themes. Thank you for the detailed review.
