I don't read a lot of poetry, but I follow Victoria Hutchins on social media and love her thoughts on life so I was hopeful I'd like her book of poetry, too.
I didn't just like it, though, I loved it. The poems in Make Believe touch on mental health, body image, falling in (and out of) love, sexuality and so much more. If you've ever felt nostalgic for what was, heartbroken, lost, or confused about who you are or your place in this world, then this book is for you. I bookmarked and highlighted so many of the poems and I'll be going back to this book over and over again.
Favorite quote: "I have so much to do, you always say. But the doing always gets done. It's the living you should keep an eye on."
