5.0

Almost every poem in this collection had lines that gave me goosebumps of recognition. Many of the passages sound like they were whispered by my ghost. They fluctuated between my past and present, making me feel like I was a step out of time, which only lent to the lonely but accompanied experience.
The collection as a whole was satisfying. While most of the poems were flaming hot or icy cold, there were a few that were tepid, and I assume those were simply the ones I haven't lived yet. This will definitely be a book I read over and over.
