Review: Almost Adults

Hello friends, welcome to Monday; I hope everyone is starting the week off right. Today I’m going to be posting my review of Ali Pantony’s novel Almost Adults.

Before I get to my review, I just wanted to shout out Marie @Drizzle and Hurricane, for recommending this book; it’s because of her I bought and read this book.

Almost Adults

Almost Adults by: Ali Pantony: Nat, Edele, Alex and Mackie are four best friends all navigating through life in their late twenties. Each one trying to figure out who they are in this world and who they want to be. After heartbreaks, new loves, new jobs, new places, the girls, with each other’s help, guide one another through their almost adult years. This novel was really well written and put together. There were many highs and lows throughout the course of this novel and the reader enjoyed going on this journey with these four women. The plots were very relatable, even though each character had something different that was going on in their life, there felt like there were elements of each one that the reader could connect with. That’s what made these characters so loveable; they were relatable in a multitude of ways. Not only that, but they were funny and bold and at times brash; each character had their own uniqueness to them that let them stand out. The bond between all four girls was so well written too. It really showed that not every moment is always rosy between friends and sometimes things get hairy, but with communication things can work themselves out. This novel let readers know that they aren’t alone in their feelings of the unknown and uncertainty of trying to figure things out. Pantony really captured the essence of what it is to be a person in their late twenties and it was heartwarming to read.

  1. I love these kinds of books. They’re the adult equivalent of coming of age and are basically catnip to me even though I’m supposed to have ascended to adulthood many years ago at this stage 😂😂😂

    1. This really was! Hey, who’s to say when you’re “supposed” to have done things by. There are no set rules you know! 😅

      1. Which is why I like to celebrate all my birthdays by wearing Disney pjs and eating kiddie sweets; I’m particularly partial to a kinder surprise egg 😂😂😂😂

      2. That sounds like the perfect way to celebrate one’s birthday! 😃
        OMG I love Kinder Surprises! We had their vendor come to my place of work one day last year (or the year before, I can’t remember now) so we all had them. I guess a new Jurassic Park movie had just come out so all the toys inside were dinos! I ended up with ALL of them on my desk! 😂😂

    Being in my early twenties, I really enjoy reading about women who are in their late twenties to kind of know what to expect? Knowing that its okay to stil figure things out…

      Oh, haha! I totally get what you mean. I think it’s definitely okay to keep figuring things out through life, nothing is set in stone!
