Help Me, I'm Here: Poems to Myself by Anastasia Helena Fenald
3.5
Thoughts:
This was a great poetry book. As someone who had mental health struggles as a young teen and am working on healing after a few years, the poems written both as a struggling teen and years later trying to talk to her ‘little me’ show realism to me. It’s refreshing to read both sides of the struggle back to back in a way and I think the alignment to show the rough time periods was unique and a great touch.

"The scars of your soul cannot be ugly; your existence is a blessing, your body a holy place."
