I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression since I was 10 years old. I could resonate very much with the feelings that these poems were trying to stir in me. I wouldn’t say I “enjoyed” this poetry. I didn’t find it to be thoroughly engaging or too deep. I do think that it’s incredibly admirable and I very much appreciate any work that’s honest - that tells the story of someone’s life. I know for a fact that this collection will help someone feel seen. And that’s the most important thing.

Kimi Freeman is a new to me author. I appreciated her poems and how her words flowed naturally. Growing up is hard and I was able to appreciate her poems. I would say this book is aimed for young adults! Will be using in my curriculum

Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read and review this.

This collection was not it; the author sounds like everyone else trying to write modern poetry.

An insightful collection of poetry perfect for young adults. I also noticed a mistake or two and feel like it could have used another round of edits.

It is a collection of poems about growing up. It is quite empowering to read about the whole process of finding your own voice and feet in the world.

I had high hopes for this collection after I read the description. The idea was really great and I liked how it was put in 5 parts. It was an easy and fast read, but I just couldn't connect to most poems.
