Adultolescence

Amazon Review
Comedian Gabbie Hanna brings levity to the twists and turns of modern adulthood in this exhilarating debut collection of illustrated poetry.

In poems ranging from the singsong rhythms of children’s verses to a sophisticated confessional style, Gabbie explores what it means to feel like a kid and an adult all at once, revealing her own longings, obsessions, and insecurities along the way. Adultolescence announces the arrival of a brilliant new voice with a magical ability to connect through alienation, cut to the profound with internet slang, and detonate wickedly funny jokes between moments of existential dread. You’ll turn to the last page because you get her, and you’ll return to the first because she gets you.

Miss J's Review
Despite the fact that I don't usually write or read rhyming poetry, I really enjoyed the lyricism in this book. While I was reading Hanna's poetry, I often found myself laughing out loud as well as examining the pictures along the way. :) Many of the poems in this books are both hilarious and relatable. Overall this poetry book was a quick read that really captures what it's like to be between caught between a teen and an adult.
