I enjoyed this poetry collection but I don't think I would classify it as my favorite. Maybe this is because a lot of the poems were about love, and I wanted a little more diversity of poetry content. Some of my favorite poems of Lang Leav in this collection were more about resilience and self-esteem. Leav has the wonder skill of writing poems that feel at one time like a litter to a friend, but then a few lines later espoused beautiful and mind-bogglingly moving metaphors and ideas. I appreciate her writing style and definitely would come back to read more.
My favorites were: New Beginnings*, Crazy Love*, With Anyone Else*, Thirty-three Locks, Two Worlds, and Danger of Love, Too Far In, and We Never Broke Up, Writing
Lastly, one of my favorite shorter poems, titled "Strength"
Don't let them tell you that your pain should be confined to the past, that it bears no relevance to the present. Your pain is part of who you are.
They don't know how strong that makes you.
