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!
Moderate: Suicidal thoughts, Emotional abuse, Death of parent, Suicide, Eating disorder, Domestic abuse, and Fatphobia

I don't normally read poetry, especially the modern kind, but wow, this book was beautiful in every aspect. Plus, it gave me everything I needed the moment I read it. This book deals a lot with burnout of a former "gifted kid" and that's exactly my case, so this hit very close to home and I've probably never felt so seen. It also touched on some more topics like grief or queerness.
I am so glad I stumbled upon this book because it was just what I needed. The poetry is amazing and the illustrations throughout this book are unbelievably gorgeous and sweet, so also props to the illustrator.
