A small but beautiful collection of poems that centre around ourselves and the universe. Ranging from a page worth to a few words, Eclipse was a perfect small read that tells the universe's oldest love story; between the Sun and Moon. Eclipse has a very Tumblr/Instagram vibe. The illustrations were also beautiful and spoke to many things surrounding our world. Each poem is lovely with senses of love, longing, and many other feelings that intensify the message that we are not alone, love forever surrounds us.
Thank you, NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for sending me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I received a ARC of this book in return for an honest review.
The collection beautifully combines words and watercolours for a very aesthetically pleasing book.
This book would be ideal for lovers of Atticus.
The collection overall takes a positive glance on life. The collection contains positive quotable moments that could easily be used as mantras.
This collection is lgbtqia+ friendly , the love poems are mostly not gendered.
This collection feels like a summary of the early butterflies of when you’re falling in love with someone.
This collection might not suit literary poetry readers as the language is less layered than literary poetry.
This makes for a quick read and could be a good addition to a readathon tbr.
Overall I think this book accomplishes to deliver a positive & pretty collection.

Eclipse is a poetry collection that at first might appear one-dimensional, only focusing on the love story the author wants to portray between the sun and the moon. However, in poem after poem, the love becomes human. There were several instances in which one could interpret the moon and sun as objects beyond their natural properties and turn into two individuals in love.

The illustrations and design in this book are phenomenal. So beautiful and whimsical.
The poems themselves read a bit like 2010 tumblr posts. And 90% of them could’ve been quotes from a romance book. There were a few that made me stop and think but the overwhelming majority were a bit too fluff for my tastes. I did love the concept of the sun and the moon’s love story, just maybe not the fluffiness of it.
This book would be a good one for fans of contemporary romance who want a little bit of poetry in their lives.

Beautiful collection of poetry about forbidden/doomed love, full of emotion, passion, and yearning. Relatable and thought provoking and draws the reader in within the first couple of poems

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book.
Eclipse is a beautiful book of poetry written as a love letter to the moon. The writing flows beautifully with gorgeous water color paintings gracing many pages. I will certainly be recommending this book.

First of all - Thank you for letting me be an ARC reader once again.
I love how artistically the poetry and the images are combined in Wilder’s books. It is something I have noticed in their previous works and even now, I find it so beautiful.
The poetry itself is soul catching. When I say that Wilder is among my favourite poets out there, I mean.
