I'm not so much a poetry person as I am a Megan Falley person. These poems were fantastic and since I have a difficult time reading poetry, I opted for the audiobook on this one to hear Falley read her own poems (in the correct way with the correct inflection that I most certainly couldn't have done myself). Loved loved loved.

"The thing that has held me back the most
from being amazing is the belief that I am not"
*Swoon*
Well, I am now officially obsessed with Megan Falley- not sure how she managed to fly under my radar, but she's tracked now.
I loved this book so much that I will be buying a physical copy. Having the e-book made my fingers itch- there were so many great lines and full poems that practically screamed at me- so many notes and highlights and I need those dog-eared pages to keep going back to.
Some of my favorites:::
Movement
When It Ended
Eulogy for the Family Pig
On Being One of the Skinny Girls at Fat Camp

Really interesting, mostly because I wasn't sure what to expect: I'm a massive fan of Andrea Gibson, so naturally gravitated to this one. It's very different to Gibson's style, but wonderful all the same! And, like Gibson, Falley provides a great, poetic look at some really big and important issues.

3.5 stars. There were many poems in this book I really liked, and it kept me engaged enough that I read it in a day. But as a whole I just didn’t love it the way I loved Megan Falley’s previous books. I’d still recommend the book to others, it just wasn’t a favorite for me.

Falley is a powerhouse of a poet. She is funny and fearless and brash and tender. This book feels like a natural extension of her person. It is such a charming and gut-wrenching work. I look forward to revisiting it again and again in the future.
