challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.5

I love Nikita Gill's poetry and this collection was no exception. There are so many in this book which spoke to me on a different level. I thoroughly enjoyed the fairytale retellings which I will be adapting to tell my daughter once she is a little older.

There are a number of themes throughout the poems from surviving different situations, growing, healing, loving yourself. All things I needed to hear.

I read this as an ebook and plan on getting it as a physical copy and annotating it.
