I think the book was healing for the author. While there were several powerful moments for me, I couldn't fully connect with the strings of enmeshed metaphors.

"may your sadness
be your north star
may it help you
find your way back
to tomorrow
may it act as your parachute
not your anchor
feel it
but don't let it take you over
learn to love it
accept it
but don't let it build a home
inside you"

beautiful poetry with a huge feelings, the deep one.
it was amazing to read it, even though it have mix of sadness and hope at the same time.
it touched me somehow, I felt some of this poems written to me, and maybe I felt like this because I have the same name of the author (Sana).

in the end I can't say that I loved it but I like it.
and I recommend you to read it for once.

This poetry collection had its relatable moments, emotional ones too, and though I empathized, I didn't feel connected to what was expressed on the page. I really wish I liked it more, especially because of how personal the collection seems to be. It was a decent read, but it didn't quite work for me.
