(Até gostava de poder dizer que o descobri através da conta da autora no Tumblr, mas não foi o caso 😂)
👸🏻 Esta foi a minha estreia a ler uma coletânea de poesia contemporânea. A estrutura é divertida, a punch-line é dada no final com o título em muitas das vezes, a temática é atual e relacionável para os leitores.
Não estava nada habituada a este estilo, é bem diferente dos clássicos que aprendi nas aulas de Literatura, mas não desgostei porque o propósito é que a obra toque o seu leitor e foi isso que fez.
👸🏻 Este é o primeiro numa coleção de 3 livros (@leya_portugal por favor, traduzam o último) todos com títulos que sugerem reviravoltas nos desfechos dos contos de fadas.
Contudo, apesar de parecer ser um livro de fantasia, este é sobre as experiências da autora e outras mulheres na sua vida que são contados através de metáforas (por exemplo, a autora é a princesa ou os homens são dragões) Quando chegamos ao módulo Tu que vemos no índice, encontramos poemas mais variados e abrangentes a outras vivências que o leitor possa ter experienciado.
👸🏻 Quanto a gatilhos temos: distúrbios alimentares, luto, suicídio, cancro.
Não é vastamente descritivo, mas deixa-nos a pensar no assunto. Na altura em que o li tinha ido a um funeral e a leitura foi quase como uma ponte entre mim e as pessoas em luto ao meu redor. Havia textos com os quais me identifiquei, houve outros que me fizeram pensar na minha família e amigos - essa é a magia deste tipo de leituras.
👸🏻 Aconselho bastante porque é uma obra sobre feminismo, crescimento pessoal e a nunca desistirmos de nós mesmas.

Oh wow. Oh wow oh wow oh wow. Where do I even begin with this book? I liked this even better than Milk and Honey and I was not expecting that.
I rarely cry while reading but I cried and I flinched and I laughed and I smiled so much I think actual sunshine came out of my face and I was just so emotional and this was beautiful. I have never gone through anything as awful as the author did, but so many of the emotions she described are ones that I relate to so strongly. And also a lot of the little things about her personality just reminded me so much of myself. But this book (especially the last chapter) made me so so so happy and hopeful for the future.
And this style of poetry is a lot like the poetry I've been writing which just inspired me to write wow
I'm so glad I picked this up because it is a beautiful book that I would recommend to absolutely everyone. I can't wait to read Amanda Lovelace's other book that's coming out next year. I read this in one day (almost in one sitting but I stopped to eat food because have you met me) and I recommend that you also read it all in one go and just let the emotions wash over you. Take yourself for a ride. Love yourself.
