This short book contains some emotional words from some good and bad experience of life, author talk from 2 perspective male and female in some, poems are mostly one dimensional , author is bit obsessed with metaphor of outer space and stars, various feeling are explored, but loneliness tops the topics.
These poems are , about dreamers, one who fall in love and failed, for whom sleep is a stranger, one who wait for 22 minutes to get a reply and keep checking phone, vulnerable to be alone, and thinks parties and concerts are the loneliest place ,who find inspiration in tragedies, never take sanity for granted, memories helps and not make us feel lonely, escaping reality, a secret crush, generation of people addicted to phone, letter that never got posted, a long distance friendship, fake smiling photographs, a colourless life, she want a life of her own without restriction, she fall into wrong relationship and now she don't believe in any guy who try to come close to her, a gloomy atmosphere of car and long drive, the one who capture loneliness, Don't ignore who care for you, a meet to old man in park, but not anymore because he is not coming there again, don't judge someone just by there vibe, a coffee lover without sugar, cherish every moment of life, from dream to lost souls life happens, if you write about us, don't just write about us only but do mentioned about us on the last page for rememberance.

For a poetry book is worth, if I fell relatable and can easily relate the rhythm of the poem with my timeline. And thia one, definitely build that connection. Every poem is carefully curated and so natural, as I am writing my journal and jotting all those moments in bloack pages.
The main highlights of the poem is solitude and loneliness. The words are so strong that I might revisit this here and there when sharing the same feelings as of poems.
A must read for poetry lovers.
P.s. - Illustrations are awesome
