I truly enjoyed the raw emotion of this book because I believe that sometimes people just need their pain acknowledged in a way that isn’t sugar coated. I can see how someone with similar lived experiences would feel seen after reading this book.

I read a lot of poetry books, and even rate a lot of them five stars. I love a lot of poetry collections. But very rarely do I find one that I truly think doesn't have a bad poem in it. This book was incredible. It all fit so well with the theme without ever feeling repetitive or on-the-nose. It was dark, and soft, and compelling, and despairing, and hopeful. I loved it so much, and I'm glad I bought it so I can go back and reread it whenever I want.
