There are very few books that have changed my life. I feel like this one could easily be one of the ones. It’s absolutely heart-achingly beautiful. Some of the best poetry I’ve ever read.

I read this book in two sittings, one which was sitting in the sun during my commute. It was absolutely lovely. I've read a lot of Joshua Jennifer Espinoza's poetry online so I was excited to read the second edition of her first collection. She writes with honesty and vulnerability about depression, about trans girlhood, resilience, love, and more She has definitely grown as a poet in terms of her craft since this first book came out. It had a lot of heart but I didn't find the writing as strong as some of her later work. Still, would recommend reading it and it's fun to see where she began as a writer.
