doesn't really read like poetry but appreciated reading the graces, messages/reminders and mantras given.

um, where has this book been all my life? i wanted to highlight every single page. almost all of the poems resonated with me in some way or another, effortlessly managing to make me feel seen and understood. this collection of poems was right what i needed when i read this.

This book read more like a self help book than poetry, I do think it would do well in that genre instead. Bu as poetry, it was rather cliché, gave me a vibe like ah yes I have read these same lines a thousand times over. There were certain poems within the book that were beautiful and emotional but those were comparatively rare than the others. I do think this writer does have real potential though. Perhaps I was just not the right audience for this book and there is a different type of poetry reader who would understand and appreciate this more, but for me, it was a total and utter miss.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.

Slightly better than the previous book I read from him, but still full of meaningless platitudes and toxic positivity that was so lacking in substance that it gave me a headache.

Lessons for those that are healing. Cute little messages and a few really resonate with me.
