Caitlin Conlon writes so beautifully! I've always loved her work on Instagram (@cgcpoems) but had never gotten around to reading this; I think if I'm being honest this is partially because I have never gone through a breakup, and I didn't know if I could relate to a whole chapbook of breakup poems. If that's at all similar to how you're feeling, rest assured that this book is *amazing* and will rip your heart out no matter who you are. I related to it so much, and her poems aren't the typical breakup poems you've read a million versions of. Part of me is like "why on earth didn't you read this before," but another part of me is like "thank god I hadn't read this so that I could experience it all as brand-new tonight."
