I listened to this on audio and omg I LOVED IT! The narrator was soothing and I related to every single poem... it truly made me think about my life and my circumstances and I honestly can’t say enough good things! I highly recommend you picking this book up either physical or audio because I think everyone needs to hear this!

this book was so beautiful and inspiring. As a writer and reader I was inspired to mark pages and write little thoughts and poems in the margin. It was overall so well written and I loved how their were multiple chapters, feelings, and places to connect with readers at different stages in life. Any person who has ever felt in love, hopeful, happy, sad, hopeless, broken hearted, will find a collection of poems to relate too.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an eCopy in exchange for an honest review.

Another excellent collection from one of my favourite poets. True to his poetic style, these new poems are honest, vulnerable, and comforting all at the same time.

Thomas has a way with words that makes me, as a reader, feel seen and heard. I appreciated the beauty of all the poems, but the ones I connected with the most are those contained in "II: In which we are sad" and "V: In which we hope".

Thomas' poems have been my go-to during difficult parts of my life and I am happy to add this new volume to my collection.

Such a great collection, beautiful and a reflection of so many personal experiences and feelings we all go through. I deeply connected with much of this book. I listened to the audio version and loved the narration and music. I'm definitely picking up a physical copy as well. I can't wait to read more from Iain S. Thomas.


Thanks so much to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for a ALC to review. All opinions are my own

Nice book of poems read aloud by the author. There's something both beautiful and super awkward about having poems read aloud.

These poems are love based and good if you are in the mood for pining.

I received a copy from Netgalley, all opinions are my own.
