This was absolutely not like anything i had expected.
I literally read this in 4 hours and only because i had to have lunch on that period but those wore 4 of the most amazing hours of my life.
This is not a poetry book and I don't consider myself at all a fan of poetry but the way the little texts where written, like they had some sort of rythym is stunning.
The only thing that could have been improved is the connection to the images, they were all really well taken and so but half of them didn't had anything to do with the following text.
Still, an amazing read, with a type of write similiar to "Dictionary of Love" by David Levithan.

I'm not big on poetry, but I loved this one. Both the words and the images moved me. Lots of heart here, tenderness and hurt and beauty.

I really enjoyed this book. I am not really into poetry so take my words with a grain of salt. I got the sample of the book first because like I said I am not into poetry, I found it not to be real poetry (well not like the one they teach you in school) I felt like the book was more of someone thinking out loud. When I actually convinced my self to buy it I saw how thin it was I thought to myself that I would get through this book fairly quickly but I just couldn't. I found myself really engrossed in every single poem, I felt a real connection with what the author was talking about, a lot of his feelings really hit home with me. The only possible critique that I would have would be the pictures I don't really find the meaning in some of them. Anyways I would recommend this book because I feel like even if you haven't been through a horrible break up or you have never been in love. This book touches on other things too, it talks about other human feelings like the loss of a family member or just how people are the way they are.

It's waaaay better than Lang Leav's crap so that's a relief. I'm not gonna write a proper review BUT I'll share some of my favorites:


Maybe it's because you're one of those people that believes that sometimes, the most reckless thing you can do with your heart, is not being reckless with it.


Well... yeah

And then my soul saw you and it kind of went "Oh there you are. I've been looking for you."


Is it a bit cheesy? Eh, I don't care, I love it!

I'm sure people just kiss each other. I'm sure that sometimes you're talking and somehow two people move closer to each other and then, they just kiss. I'm sure it happens all the time. But I'm also sure that a kiss is never just a kiss.


Yeah I know I'm a hopeless romantic.


There's more but I don't want to put the half of the book here. But here's the last one:

You took all my words when all I wanted to do was say them.

This audiobook was unlike any I’ve listened too before. I’ll be honest, I don’t usually enjoy audiobooks with changing voices, music, or added sounds, but I can’t imagine what this book would’ve been like without it.

Within just a few minutes, I was hooked into the poetry in prose, feeling like the author was speaking directly to me. Listening to this book is an ethereal experience, something behind simply reading a book.

I think you have to be in the right headspace to listen to this book, but you’ll absolutely get something out of it. I highly recommend I Wrote This For You!
