It took me a while to finish this because I was dipping in and out, but the poems are beautiful, emotional, and poignant. Nikita Gill always writes from the heart and that seems especially true of this collection, with some very personal, moving poems. I feel like every reader will find at least one poem that resonates with them in this book; two that were particularly stand outs for me were Soulmates and Us. Gill treats every topic she writes about with care and empathy, and I love the way she speaks to girls and women, looking to empower everyone that reads her work.
