I really enjoyed reading Unsettled. Aditi's poems are varied, imaginative and relatable. Although I haven't seen the world like Aditi has, the overarching theme of feeling unsettled is universal, making the book incredibly touching and thought-provoking. Highly highly highly recommend.

A beautiful book that captures the highs and lows of the norms of emotions, growing up as a third culture kid and beyond.

Full disclosure: Aditi is a close friend's daughter. Having said that, I was blown away by her poems. The authenticity strikes you first - the feeling of being lost and at home at the same time, in all parts of the world. The simplicity of language only adds to the beauty of the emotions on display - love, longing, pathos. I would recommend Aditi's book (hopefully the first of many) highly.

Beautiful debut book by Aditi Babel. Watch this space. Full of witty one-liners and thought-provoking themes, this book of poetry has to be read from cover to cover without being put down. An incredible insight into the interesting life adventures of this ambitious and beautiful young lady.

Whether you're a third culture kid, an avid poetry reader or someone who just loves supporting young empowered female writers, this book is for you. The author writes about a topic that many people struggle with, identity. As someone who finds their identity hard to grasp, this book has provided me great comfort by putting the unexplainable into prose.At times this book feels uncomfortable to read as bestows upon the reader a unique insight into the author's incredibly raw and emotional experiences. The discomfort is a privilege to feel. It has been a long time since a book has held the power within its pages to make me feel how the author feels, to transport you into their student room in a small city in England or a bustling metropolis in China.I cannot recommend this little book enough as I can safely say that it is a book you will read over and over and over and over again
