Overall, it wasn't a bad poetry book. I think it's well-worded and such, but the overall feeling of it was a bit immature for my personal tastes. Had I had this book in high school or even in my early 20s, I probably would have loved it with every fiber of my being. This book just came a little bit too late for me, personally. That being said, there were a handful of poems that I really loved... I just didn't love the book as a whole. I liked it, but I definitely didn't love it.

Having read another poem collection by Courtney Peppernell, I went in knowing the bare bones of what I should expect. *I received a copy of this book from the netgalley in exchange for an honest review*
Peppernell writes with simplistic prose that is easy to read and easy to understand. However, with this simplicity can also come a lack of emotional depth – which you might call counterproductive. Poetry is generally meant to make us feel something.
Similar to her previous collection, there were both strong and weak pieces within the pages. Unfortunately, there were too few that truly caught my attention in order for me to label a brilliant collection. However, there is something in this book for nearly everyone and I wouldn’t cross it off your tbr if you enjoy heartfelt poetry.

Review soon, but a quick one, it’s great read being between the motions. Happy I took my time as I rediscover the book between cities.
