A few notes before I list off my favorite poems in this book: 1) yes I read this so I could vote for it in the Goodreads awards and, 2) while I did enjoy this one a little more than Break Your Glass Slippers it wasn't enough to bump this into my favorite Amanda Lovelace.
List of favorite poems goes as follows:
disappointment.
she doesn't realize she's already beautiful.
this way, she never gets hurt.
she already knows.
he./she. (technically this is two poems but they are companions so I put them together for the purposes of this list)
wearing a fake ring.
my sincerest apologies.

I received an ARC of this poetry collection from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review!
Amanda Lovelace never disappoints me. The illustrations were beautiful, the messages were so important, and it just kept getting better as I went along!
"Less girl-on-girl hate. More group protection spells. "

Still really enjoyed this duology, it just felt a bit repetitive overall!
This is not the first collection I have read by Amanda Lovelace, and it will not be the last. I own previous volumes and enough of the content in this one made me go "oh yeah", or want to write it down as a daily motto, that I may even purchase a physical copy of this collection too.
The structure follows a modern twist on a fairytale, with bits of "big sister" (think female to female) advice and motivation interspersed throughout.
It made me think and made me feel empowered.
Yes, some of it is stating the "obvious" but women often need reminded of things like our independence and worth.
It is also not what you'd maybe consider "classic" poetry, but more in line with the popular instagram poetry movement, and also includes prose. In that sense, it is almost like a collection of micro-essays/letters to uplift and motivate.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my eARC of this latest collection.
