❝ her parents screams at her more than they ever told her they loved you. ❞
— disappointment
I CAN RELATE TO THIS BOOK SO MUCH IT'S LIKE THE AUTHOR REACHED INTO MY MIND AND STOLE MY THOUGHTS AND EXPERIENCES. And though I appreciate what the author is doing, I don't like how they did it.
I gave this book a shot, full well knowing that I despised The Princess Saves Herself, so truly it's my fault. I'm just unsure how this could possibly be considered poetry (it felt more like a book of advice).
All the poems go something like this:
I am a poet, because I use commas, to emphasis a pause, and because I don't like, regular sentences. Also, this book is supposed to make you feel good, so like, here are some uplifting passages, that are the most generic, basic pieces of writing you'll ever read. but like it's because I use lowercase and put '&' instead of 'and', use roman numerals and don't use the grammar and punctuation rules of English literature, so obviously this is poetry. also, princes suck and sh*t, they are irredeemable.
No but seriously, here is a snippet of a poem in the book:
❝ why doesn't anyone want me? ❞
— why? why? why?
another one:
❝ come to the party. ❞
— her friends, trying to include her.
❝ i'd much rather stay at home and read a book. ❞
— her, running away scared again.
another one:
❝ cancelled plans make her sigh in relief. ❞
— now she won't have to fake it.
ANOTHER ONE:
❝ you're too pretty to be single. ❞
— he.
❝ i'm too pretty to even talk to you. ❞
— she.
ANOTHA ONE:
❝ i. drive the scenic route.
ii. take more self-care days.
iii. sing, even if it's off-key.
iv. make time for your passions.
v. let yourself feel joy.❞
—don't waste a single moment.
There is more but I shan't bother you with the details.
I must admit though, part "ii" I did enjoy (only the first 'poem' though). I thought it was cute, not poetry, but still admirable.
I love the message, just not the execution.

Amanda Lovelace does it again. This book was so quotable and beautiful. It’s about body positivity and self love and powerful women. Loved it!
"She is so quiet that
no one ever thinks twice
before spilling
other people's secrets
in front of her.
Little do they know
that she's an
excellent listener
& they're teaching her
that no one can be trusted.
-Traitors.

I love Amanda Lovelace’s books so much, and this one was no exception. I did rip through it in about 30 minutes, so I will definitely be going back to reread it. But it felt like this book reached into my head and put all my feelings into words. Definitely one of my favorites.
"you want so badly for others to prove that they care about you,
yet you continue to push everyone away.
why?
open every window.
let love inside.
it’s time you stopped letting your what-ifs limit you so much."
