Finding Daisies by Jessica Jocelyn

inspiring reflective slow-paced

3.0

Where to start really. I thought the book was okay. Coming off reading a different poetry book I couldn't help but compare the two, and unfortunately for this book, I didn't like it as much as the other one. The very beginning of the book it has a passage explaining that there is no clear timeline to protect some people's identities. While I greatly respect that decision, I feel like it made it harder for me to connect to what the author was trying to portray. There would be a few inspiring shorts and then suddenly we swerve left and we're in the future dealing with a bad relationship and then swerving right into what I think was a good relationship? I felt like we didn't stay within a set of emotions long enough for them to be as impactful as they were meant to be. I do think that the addition of the illustrated pages was cute and helped separate the topics some. Not my favorite book, but overall pretty decent.
