Only giving this 4 stars because I couldn’t connect with the encouraging poems and ones that felt more like affirmations. Not really sure why. But the way Shelby writes is beautiful and fluid. I loved her other books so naturally I had to check this one out. Love the title too!

i like the author's honest approach to mental health issues related to self confidence and anxiety. i also like that the poems speak of healing, so it's not entirely negative. a few of the poems really resonated with me, and i think this is an overall good collection. flows nicely and it's easy to understand ^^

Firstly, I'd like to thank Netgalley and Central Avenue Publishing for the eARC for an honest review.
This is my first Shelby Leigh book but I've be part of her mailing list for a while. I was really interested to see what one of her poetry collections was like. This collection is split into four chapters: The Nightmares, The Mirror, The Shattering and The Enchantment. Each chapter explores something different. By examining the past and how it can haunt our lives, seeping into our future through overthinking. Rewiring how we think is explored throughout this collection. The book's journey goes from dark to light.
I really loved the cover and thought the formatting was lovely with Leigh's word art throughout adding another layer for the reader. I probably would have found this collections so helpful as a teenager but didn't find that I connected with it as much as I would have liked to.
