This is an absolutely incredible collection. This is my first read of Andrea’s work and I will definitely be reading more. The way they describe grief, trauma, love, and the experience of being gender nonconforming is as beautiful as it is heartbreaking. This collection spoke to my soul and made me feel less alone in my pain and experiences. An absolute work of art.

Full of life, love, anger, and longing; a beautiful collection of soul-affirming poems. At once both overwhelmingly earnest and sporadically tongue in cheek. Even the on-the-nose slightly Tumblr cringe lines feel so genuine and pure. Feels like Gibson has their finger so tightly on the pulse of what they explore.

Not really my style of poetry but there were some bangers.
