A contemplative, heart-warming collection of poems, thoughts, and prose. Great for fans of Rupi Kaur, Nikita Gill and Hollie McNish

Was ich mochte:
- es war sehr lesbisch
- ca. 8 Gedichte/Gedanken waren echt schön
- die Bilder von den Quallen sind so schön; ganz ehrlich wenn des Buch nur Bilder von den Quallen gewesem wäre 5 von 5 Sternen
- die Überstzerin hat es super gemacht, die Gedichte in deutscher Sprache haben mir wesentlich besser gefallen
Was ich nicht mochte:
- die meisten Gedichte waren sehr oberflächlich, so als hätte man einem Computer gesagt er soll das klischeehafteste was er zu Liebe finden kann auszuspucken
- vieles hat sich so angefühlt wie das was vor 10 Jahren auf Tumbler gepostet wurde und heute von 50 Jährigen auf facebook gepostet wird
- die Persönlichkeit der autorin kam überhaupt nicht durch, die Gedichte hätten von irgendjemandem sein können
- viele der Gedichte waren mehr so Gedankenfetzen, die man immer wieder mal auf Instagram sieht
- die meisten Gedichte sind überhaupt nicht tiefgründig
- die Autorin verwendet immer und immer wieder dieselben Metaphern
- manche Sachen werden schwarz-weiß dargestellt
- Es fühlt sich an wie fast fashion poesie
- es war nichts dabei, was man nicht schonmal irgendwo gehört hat
- ich hasse es, dass zu sagen, aber das Buch schreit nur so "ich bin priviligiert"
1,5 Sterne für die Quallen und 1 Stern für den Inhalt

The 2016 poetry collection Pillow Thoughts by Australien author Courtney Peppernell accumulates a collection of her poems in a total of seven parts.
Peppernell's poems talk heavily about human emotions and are seemingly influenced by her own experiences. I had a very good time reading them. They are very emotional and were able to even have me a little sobbing at some parts.
I loved her writing and I loved her poems. They were easy to understand but also left space for own interpretation.
I can and will recommend this book.
However, as always please take note of the content warnings before reading.
