Stunning book of poems. Very relatable and in the free form style I like. Found several of them to be exactly what I needed to hear.

I received an e-ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
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.

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.
