“It’s easier to // Just obsess and burn.”

I honestly… have no words for this absolute ✨BEAUTY✨ of a poetry collection!!

But I’m gonna try, because a review without any words isn’t really a review, now is it? Lol.

Taura Wildes.
The ✨QUEEN✨ of last lines.
The ✨ALCHEMIST✨ of my tears.
The girl who ✨SOMEHOW✨ got inside my head and decided to write a book about it!

Seriously, I don’t know how many times I walked away from a poem going, ✨“Wow!”✨ ✨“Oh my GOSH!!”✨ or ✨“How did she KNOW?!?!”✨

My KU copy is ✨FULL✨ of highlights and notes!
Which I intend to transfer as soon as my ✨physical copy✨ is in. Hehe.

When I say I was only 40% into this book before deciding I ✨HAD✨ to have a personal copy, ✨I MEAN IT!!✨
I have literally ✨NEVER✨ bought a book so fast ✨IN MY LIFE!!✨

The author’s writing style is ✨STUNNING!!✨ The artwork and photography are absolutely ✨AMAZING!!✨ And the subject matter she writes on hits me right ✨IN THE HEART!!✨
✨(I may or may not have gotten excited at the contents warning page. 🤭)✨

So right now, if you’re seeing this Taura, I just want to thank you so much for creating this beautiful ✨5 star read!✨

It is truly a ✨work of art!✨
And I recommend it to ✨EVERYBODY!✨
