Unhinged: Putting the Pieces Back Together by Olena Rose

5.0

I read this for the Love Books Tours' book tour and I'm amazed at what I read. Seriously. I won't lie, I wasn't keen on the poetic structure of the book BUT after the first few pages, I realised the poetry just made the story hit me ten times deeper than the normal prose I read. The aim of the book is to remind the reader of their self-worth, their self-empowerment and their self-confidence and by the end of it, I had never felt so empowered and positive (where was this book when I was younger!?) Its a real battle throughout, between the head and the heart, between sense and love; a battle I know we've all had to face once in our lives, and the sometimes hard and enduring journey to finding our own happiness. Rose doesn't romanticise the heartbreak, she welcomes it and then grows through it and I'll be honest, its the most beautiful thing to read
