Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
cw: abuse, mental health, death, grief, self harm
this collection really resonated with me and so many of the poems hit me really hard. it mostly centres around the grief of amanda losing her mother to cancer and is extremely personal, raw and honest. even though i can't imagine what she went through and grief is such a personal, individual experience i was able to connect to the overall feeling and it reminded me a lot of what i went through when i lost my nana several years ago. i also loved the underlying bond of sisterhood and it made me want to give all my sisters the biggest hug. amanda's words will always find a way to bury themselves in my soul. her poems will always bring out an emotional response in me and like many of her past collections this made me cry. i think this is definitely a new favourite of mine from her. also, the art throughout was so cute!
