Nothing Burns As Bright As You by Ashley Woodfolk

4.0

---

I've been having trouble focusing to read novels lately. I've always liked poetry so I thought I'd give a novel in verse a try. I really enjoyed this. It really encapsulates a relationship where there might be so much love, but love doesn't make a relationship healthy. They love so much, but at the same time not enough and it just tears at your heart. The confusion and the pain you receive and the pain you unknowingly inflict when trying to navigate a relationship for the first time is shown so well here. This will hit you in the gut, but it just invokes so much feeling. I really liked this.
