I really enjoyed this collection and it felt similar to her earlier work! Loved it more than the last two collections I read from Gill.
Dives into friendship, love, grief, trauma, protest/speaking up for your beliefs, feminism, family, and loving your body. I found a lot of the poems relatable and moving 🩷

It took me a while to finish this because I was dipping in and out, but the poems are beautiful, emotional, and poignant. Nikita Gill always writes from the heart and that seems especially true of this collection, with some very personal, moving poems. I feel like every reader will find at least one poem that resonates with them in this book; two that were particularly stand outs for me were Soulmates and Us. Gill treats every topic she writes about with care and empathy, and I love the way she speaks to girls and women, looking to empower everyone that reads her work.

I'm still waiting on the day where Nikita Gill produces something less than amazing. I could read her poetry all day, every day. These are the words had tears in my eyes by the end - I never felt more seen than when I read Gill's collections! The stories of friendship and sisterhood were just so beautiful, but also examining toxic families and learning to love yourself, learning that you don't have to be strong all the time or fall into the trap of toxic positivity. I just love this collection with my whole heart.
