There are some absolutely beautiful and powerful verses in here, but overall I think I would have appreciated it more if I had been able to listen to the poems. I don’t think they work well in this format.

So love your neighbor.
Please treat her kindly.
Ask her her story,
then shut up
and listen.

I was a little weary going into this collection, just because I don't have the *best* luck with novels written by celebrities/musicians/public figures, but I absolutely adored this. It was so raw and emotional, and I felt as though I could really connect with her. Each and every poem is a standout in its own right, but I highly recommend everyone read A Story Like Mine.
