I agree that the title is misleading, because the award wasn't given to the author. It was more like announcing a contender for the title.

Yes, I explained. Amazon likes “The Adults,” but can’t commit to declaring it the best, because the year is not yet over, and surely something much better will come out, especially closer to the holidays when the big names are published.

It looks like the author knew what it meant, but at the end still hoped that she will keep the title.
