I have the same complaints as most women before me.
I have been romanticized, mythologized, separated from myself and then pieced back together so many times no one remembers the truth of who I am.
There are so many versions of me.
Not even I recognize all of my faces.
This book, just like the previous one, Aphrodite Made Me Do It, found me at a time that I really needed to hear the words that were written down. The way the author just finds a way to make you feel safe and heard and just that you aren't alone. Seriously I devoured and will continue to read if she makes more in this series. ♥
What if my entire personality is made of trauma responses and coping mechanisms? What if I’m too tired to try to get better?

This collection is in one word, magical. This is one that you consistently go back and read through over and over because the poetic words seem to hit new meanings every time you go over it. It's almost timeless in the sense that you feel a different emotion every time. I really enjoyed these poems.
I loved the graphics and illustrations that go along with the poems. They bring a sense of authenticity. The parallels drawn between modern day women and the goddess really shows that the struggle of women is a timeless issue that persists.
Overall I really enjoyed it.
