I actually liked this collection better than her earlier works, including the Pillow Thoughts series. Not only were the poems more relatable, they came across as more heartfelt and raw. The author's writing has also matured and her craft has improved; I didn't get 'pop poetry' vibes.

It is the first book I read from this author and it was surprisingly good.
This is a poetry collection that talks about self-love, queer relationships, and healing. Most of the poems are written in prose but they are just as beautiful as the others.

I lost the count of how many poems I bookmarked because they truly resonated with me. This author style is easy to follow and like I said, it talks about topics I don’t see quite often, so I’m sure I’ll be picking her other books up as soon as I can get them.

I wish could made justice with my review but Poetry is a genre I’m slowly getting my hands on. And I’m just glad I came across The Road Between because it was everything I ask for.

After enjoying Pillow Thoughts, the next poetry collection I picked up was The Road Between by Courtney Peppernell, and I was definitely hoping that Peppernell continued to show growth and development with this newer collection. Unfortunately, I actually liked this one less than her debut. It had way more prose relative to poetry, compared to the earlier collection, and I just don't love Peppernell's prose, which definitely loses the poetic element and tends to fall flat for me. I was underwhelmed by the prose, and since it composed so much of The Road Between, I was underwhelmed by the collection as a whole. That said, I'm still intrigued by Peppernell and willing to pick up more writing by her in the future.
