This is surely Makenzie Campbell's best collection yet; the journey she takes you on is so beautiful.
There are a wide array of emotions and types of poetry in this book, and it's not all about romantic love or heartbreak by any means. However, I did want to say that in general, I don't find much heartbreak poetry relatable or interesting, because there is so much of it and I have never gone through a real breakup. But somehow in this collection Campbell makes me feel it, as if it's really happening to me, and it makes my heart ache.
I'm so glad I got the opportunity to read this book; thank you to Netgalley and a Central Avenue Publishing for the chance to review this ARC.
