plathologist's review against another edition
3.0
I have been following Caitlyn since the 2013 tumblr days. It's a good collection, but it does have flat moments. A lot of the stories are similar which isn't always a bad thing - sometimes it's good to tell a story five times. I get it. There's good ideas, images, beauty language, but definitely missing something for me, too. I liked some of the poems towards the end of the book more, but I didn't connect to most. Still recommend it though.

Beautiful - her poetry punches you in the gut and takes your breath, then gives it back with a kiss

"Now take your time with this one," I told myself as I sat down to read it. "You don't have to finish it immediately just for the sake of it. Take it slow, memorize its taste, its style, and the way the pages feel against your fingers or something."
HAH.
I finished this in two sittings, and only because I was called for lunch in the middle of it. I didn't force myself to finish it to have it over and done with. I really couldn't put it down. It was stunning in so many ways that I never wanted it to end. It's the first thing I've ever read by Caitlyn Siehl, but I'm pretty sure it won't be the last. If you enjoy beautiful yet simple poetry - which just so happens to be my favorite type of poetry - this little collection won't disappoint you. It was also the perfect book to start my year with, as I'm hoping to read more poetry in 2017. So so many kudos. 5/5 stars.
