afreeman 's review for:
You Better Be Lightning
by Andrea Gibson
**Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a review copy of this work. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. **
Andrea Gibson manages to write some of the most beautiful contemporary poetry I've ever read. I was obsessed with Take Me With You when I first read it, and so I was excited to read this book but also wondered how it could match up, but my concerns were totally unfounded. They create narratives-in-verse that make you cry on one page, then include a footnote about accidentally sending a flirty text to the wrong person on the next that made me laugh out loud in public. Themes include relevant contemporary events and issues as well as more ephemeral subjects of heartbreak, love, and healing.
In You Better Be Lightning, Andera Gibson reaches right to the vulnerable heart of moments and expresses them in the most beautiful terms that it takes your breath away.
