The thing that I remember most distinctly about this book is the slight feeling that I may be outgrowing Lovelace’s collections.
I still think that there are valuable things that this book offered. It has a lot of important reminders and there were a few pages that I marked.
This was definitely better than Lovelace’s former release. It had more of a flow to it.
Lovelace had beautiful insight into creativity and the magic of storytelling in this collection. She reminds readers of their value in a way a true storyteller would.
Lovelace also addressed difficult topics in this collection with thoughtfulness (and provided trigger warnings). It felt like a safe book, written by someone who has been there.
However, I don’t think Lovelace’s books impact me quite the same way they used to. Regardless, I always find something of value in her beautifully illustrated collections.
