girl made of glass,
don’t let the self-doubt
stop you from thriving in this life.

if you’re a teenager, if you recently went through a breakup, if you never moved on from your first love or if you were listening lana and reading depressed quotes on tumblr in 2012-13 you might enjoy this

I connected with a few of the poems in this collection, but I found most to be cringey. Girl Made Of Glass is a good example of “Instagram poetry” as the verses were short, easy to decipher, and very “postable”. I have no interest in reading more from this author as this collection was just okay.

I thought it was a beautiful book, but I also found it difficult reading certain parts; the worst of your thoughts and feelings laid out before you. An emotional, reflective read.

Poetry like this is so important. There’s never enough ways to read about self-love and the journey to it. This collection does such a wonderful job at capturing the feelings that come with mental health struggles like anxiety and depression.
Honestly, it’s so hard to put into words how meaningful this was to read. Just seeing thoughts you’ve had during some of your darkest moments reflected back at you but with a hopeful undertone is just breathtaking. You hear so many times “it gets better” that you start to turn it out but when you read them in what feels like your own voice that is what’s truly comforting and why these verses are so powerful.
I highlighted so many lines that I’m definitely going to be getting a physical copy to reread during hard times.

Thanks to NetGalley and Central Avenue Publishing for sending me this arc!
