Crazy how not a single “poem” resonated with me🫥

okay I honestly feel bad for this rating. the writing was pretty decent, some of the poems I was like YES, I can completely get that, but a lot of the time I found it boring. I however do feel like this is more of a personal preference thing, this has been on my to read list for a while now and I was so excited, I have a friend who really enjoyed, I'm just can't say the same

Painfully honest. Disturbingly relatable. Inexplicably lovable.
Charly Cox has written a truly genius modern masterpiece in this collection of poems and prose. Covering how modern life eats away at our souls, encouraging one thing whilst publicly shaming another leaving the recipient of the information not only confused but also more susceptible to developing mental illness. Cox says loud and clear what we are all thinking, laying her innermost thoughts right out on the table without any shame.
An empowering read.
It will make you want to put your phone down forever.
And then pick it back up again 5 minutes later!

To be read aloud in bed; at times like a girl power mantra, at others through the sobbing about your seeming inability to attract non-toxic romantic relationships. A super great reminder that you’re not alone in all of the online bullshit, too.
Love Charly, loved this.

This is a pacey af collection, but not easily consumable - it demands and deserves reflection between readings. Emails from Elizabeth is B R E A T H T A K I N G and has become a passionately beloved poem to me.
