Wow, I wanted to read this slowly, but it's so difficult to put down! Each poem is deeply impactful and showcases a completely different complex emotion and relatable experience. It's dark, yearnful, hopeful, nostalgic, and yet, at some parts, light and airy. Unlike many poetry books that have a consistent theme that can sometimes become too heavy to read for a long period of time, this ebbs and flows beautifully from one concept to the next. 

This book will be released April 1st, 2025, and I'm sad I can't include any quotes in the review until then. There are so many worth sharing, remembering, and holding on to. I plan to reread this time and time again. This book is for anyone who enjoys beautiful words and shared experiences. 

Thank you, NetGalley and Random House Publishing, for the opportunity to read an advanced reader's copy in exchange for my honest review.
