The photography is so beautiful and reflective of the poems. It really makes you think and reflect on the meaning.
Not my cup of tea. Wasn’t bad, but I wanted to skim so bad while reading this.
But who knows? You may like it.

The last page says "You were put on this planet to feel every feeling you could", and this book of poetry is certainly one that makes you feel. Highly recommend! I don't usually read poetry but know that I will be reading and rereading this book for years to come.
this was kinda cool. they were super short and a lot of them had me wanting more. the pictures were kinda interesting as well but honestly, this whole book was meh. I wanted more
As I read this book I went from loving it to hating it. It was very much different than I expected. Beautiful and haunting and different. It had some incredible quotes in it's pages. I got emotional whip lash from this book. One second laughing and the next feeling gloomy. It's a good short read. Be warned it does have 3 f words. I feel a little cheated since I read it on my Nook and it did not display the pictures with the words. Over all I'm glad I read it.

I'm not going to lie. I'm one of those people that reads poetry when I'm feeling depressed. As you can imagine, it does not help whatsoever, but it makes me feel understood and really grounds me in all of my wallowing feelings. I'm very melodramatic, I know. I read this book because I was feeling some type of way and needed to read little blurbs that would make me feel acknowledged and not crazy for feeling the way I did.
Now that I'm out of that little depressive episode and am looking at the poetry, I think it's simply okay. I had given it 4 stars but changed it to 2 because after I was out of that mood I just didn't feel connected to it. Someone accurately described it as "tumblr poetry" and that's exactly what it is.
