This Poetry Collection is the first I’ve read from this author and from the beginning it completely captivated and entranced me in the beautiful writing. I couldn’t put it down even for a moment. I loved the way everything was talked about and approached, and reading it just made me feel a little bit of everything. Every room was unique and my attention never drifted I hung onto every word never wanting it to end. Highly recommend to anyone thinking of reading this you won’t be sorry.

Thank you to the publisher for providing me with a review e-arc through netgalley in exchange for an honest review!
I know I'm not supposed to tell you what I wished for
but I will say
It looks a lot like your hand in mine
It looks a lot like you staying
A poetry collection about lost love, heartbreak, missing a romantic partner but also, anxiety, trying to restore faith in youself, dealing with dark thoughts!
Even though I tend to not like this type of modern, more simplistic poetry, I ended up really really enjoying this one, mostly because I was in an unexpected romantic mood and thought the lyrics about heartbreak were beautiful, even though they were definitely very simple! Something else that made me very happy was the fact that a couple of poems mentioned attraction to more than one gender which I absolutely needed to see and found so, so amazing!

the problem i have with poems sometimes is that most poets are sad. it sounds funny, i know, but it's true. and most of the time i read a book to forget about the sadness in my own life - not to mention they start to all sound the same after a while. there are less moments where i find myself looking away from the book to let what i read sink in. however the moment the words turn from grim to a little lighter and keep going until it's only pages of joy and happiness and hope is something ill never get over. it just brings a smile to my face.
long story short, you WILL find me in the poetry section of a bookstore when im in the mood for it. 3/5 stars

Personally I didn't click with the words at all, so I struggled for weeks with reading as far as 52 % when I finally gave up.
A huge part of this might be due to the formatting. More than once I wasn't sure if it's a long poem which changes its voice or if a new one started.
Bonus points for including content warnings although why not put those into the description/blurb?
