I have been a longtime fan of Amanda Lovelace and her poetry collections always just hit me. I always appreciate the trigger warnings at the beginning. For this collection I decided to try something different and listened to the audio version, which was very fun because Amanda Lovelace narrated it. It was incredible to hear her words spoken by her.
This collection is a great compilation of that voice in your head, the voice of society, and what storybooks say. I really enjoyed how this collection used lessons we all heard from fairytales and made them modern and empowering. I think this is my new favorite collection from Amanda Lovelace!

Thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Audio for an ALC of this book.
Another amazing self-love poetry/fairy tale retelling narrated by the author.
Lovelace did it again. I absolutely loved all three of these books and am so glad this collection exists in the world. It has so many great lessons and is written so beautifully. Also these books are all supremely quotable! I feel like I could flip to a random page and point and I'd find a quote I love. This was amazing and I can't wait to have a physical copy.
