I've been trying to read more poetry lately and the synopsis of this one intrigued me as I wondered how much of this book would be relatable to me and I would say that more than half of them were. It was painful to read but I think that for me it was the painful realisation that this is something that I relate to, rather than a bad kind of painful, I recommend this book to anyone who loves poetry or anyone who wants to get into reading more poetry. The writing was beautiful as well as the illustrations throughout.

I was sent this e-Arc on Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I just want to say this had me in tears it was so relatable and it was absolutely beautiful. I resignated a lot with her style and her emotions on the paper this was a super quick but powerful book

Thank you netgalley for the ARC copy of this book. I really enjoyed this book of poetry. I related to quite a few poems. I also liked the artwork.

Moving contemporary poetry spilt into sections

Self love/depression
New love

Beautiful illustrations throughout!

A collection of poems that touch your soul in different ways, it is a roller coaster of emotions because the feelings that the author puts on paper are very easy to identify. Thiere are multiple moments when this books just feels like a comforting hug.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for providing me with an ARC to review!

5 stars

I loved this collection. It hit home many times and it felt comforting. There are many themes within this work, which is kindly pointed out by Jasmine J. at the start. We explore depression, trauma, grief, abuse, love, loss, feeling hopeless and helpless. Stunning. And the kind message from Jasmine J. at the end was also a nice touch and showed care towards the audience.

Poetry really is a healing thing when you feel validated in your own dark thoughts and feelings. And this collection really did something for me with my own current feelings and very long battle of struggling.

Would definitely get myself a physical copy to annotate some that hit me. Happy to have read this and find a new poet to look forward to!

I honestly picked this book for the title and it did not disappoint. This poetry collection covers themes including depression, domestic violence, and grief. Though beautiful, it is definitely not for the faint of heart. It’s very much giving Rupi Kaur vibes. This will leave you feeling so seen but also in tears. I will absolutely be keeping my eye on this author in the future!

Oh my goodness! Some poetry is so hard to understand and pretentious, but this book is simply heartfelt and relatable. I went through so many emotions while reading this, it's so beautiful.
Thanks so much to NetGalley for letting me preview this poetry collection

THis is one was so relatable and I am just so thankful to the author and netgalley for getting this one to me so that I could review it.
