Such a raw and real collection of poems with themes of youth, body image, ambition, uncertainty, mental health and more. I really liked how there were poems from two different perspectives between the ages of 18 and 28. As a 25 year old, I definitely related to so many of these poems and I felt there was so much emotion behind all of them.

*I was gifted an e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
