A collection of more than 150 witty and edgy poems about love and relationships from the YouTube comedian and vlogger behind 'The Gabbie Show'. Gabbie Hanna disarms the sacred and elevates the mundane in this exhilarating debut collection of illustrated poems. Ranging from the sing-song rhythms of children's verses and a sophisticated confessional style, Gabbie explores the emotionally charged space between childhood and womanhood, revealing her own longings, obsessions, and insecurities along the way. Adultolescence heralds the arrival of an artist with a magical ability to connect through alienation, bury truth bombs within observations about pizza cravings and social media, 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 page because she gets you.

Awful, juvenile, lazy, and insulting. I'm glad I didn't spend money on this. I wouldn't recommend this even to someone who has never read poetry before.

Not good, trite

pretentious, lazy, prideful, and honestly pathetic garbage. i will not apologize for my brutality. a poor rip off of every other modern poetry collection and a (self-acknowledged) cash grab.
