dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective relaxing sad medium-paced

5.0

I love this book. Any time I found myself relating to a poem or a part of it I highlighted it. Even though I can’t relate to everything written, I felt seen reading the things I’ve been thinking to myself translated so beautifully on paper. I’ll definitely be going back to this in the future with a new highlighter and see where I am then.

This books discusses some sensitive subjects, some dark and some more lighthearted. I ached for some more encouragement and self love for those who have experienced similar struggles. Some of the poems felt a little flat, However every experience is different and this can very well be the emotion the writer was trying to display. A sort of numbness.

i found that certain poems resonated with me, but the majority of the book felt like quotes that could be found on twitter or an instagram post. i resonate with her trauma, and understand what she intended to convey, i just feel as though it lacked depth.
