My god. You know there is something special about a book when there are tears on your face for half of it. For parts of this book, and some sentences especially, it felt as if she were looking in my eyes and speaking to me directly. It made me very emotional to read through. Truly such a good book.

 This book is filled with a lot of beautiful, poignant quotes, but it really leans heavily into themes of romantic heartbreak and moving on. As someone who isn't currently in a place where I needed to dive into those emotions, I didn't fully connect with the depth of the book. That said, I pushed through to finish it for a reading challenge, but I think this is definitely a book that would be more impactful if I revisited it at a time when I needed its message the most.
The poetry can feel a bit cheesy or repetitive at times, and I can imagine that if you're not prepared for that, it might be hard to enjoy. It's the kind of book that hits differently depending on where you are in life. Not my favorite read, but I can see the appeal for those looking for healing or introspection after a difficult breakup.
