This collection of poems not only reminds you what it is to be human and rebellious, but also how to love yourself for all of your flaws and parts that others may find 'too much'. 

I would recommend that any female identifying individual reads these poems; their beauty and inspiration deserve to be read by generations to come.

Nikita Gill’s poetry never fails to move me. Her writing is incredibly powerful and the strong feminist themes are inspiring. I have loved all of her collections that I have read so far and am never disappointed.
