Pillow Thoughts: Deluxe Edition by Courtney Peppernell
5.0

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Themes: grief, depression, words of encouragement, endearing poetry, self-love and self-kindness

Pillow Thoughts has touched me in ways I haven’t felt connected to a collection of poems since childhood. Touching on core topics like living with grief, feelings of depression and anxiety, encouraging self-love and self-kindness, words of encouragement to get through the day and remind you to stay, this set of poems really knows how to reach through your toughest layers and go right to your heart.

If there was ever a book I would choose to give to my friends and family I love the most, it would be this. As their birthdays come, I do hope to eventually get this accomplished. I believe this is something that should be deemed a “Necessary Read” for everyone in life. It’s a much briefer version of Chicken Soup for the Soul.

This book made me feel seen, made me feel validated, made me feel like I was not alone and like I had found a friend.
