I received a free ebook via NetGalley via Berkley Penguin Random House. All my thoughts are my own.

Every single poem created such a tangible atmosphere. They didn't all invoke the same emotions, but Mans did such a beautiful job at making you feel after every one of them. Mans is not only incredibly self aware, but she so seamlessly puts herself into other people's shoes as well. I'm grateful she chose to share all of it with the world.
This collection had life. The good, the bad, the ugly, it's all there. Her word tree at the end was especially touching. She took fundamental aspects of herself and her life and created a wonderful collection.
I'm really grateful to this giveaway because I don't think I would've picked this up otherwise. I'm not a big poetry person but I appreciate the opportunity to see other ways people choose to express themselves. I don't remember enough from AP Lit to analyze the prose or dissect the figurative language, but I found the language beautiful and never lacking.

Mans did not hold back when approaching difficult topics so take care of yourself as you read this.
