A review by ihlonial
you are your own fairy tale by Amanda Lovelace

4.0

I tend to not read poetry as often as I would like. I think my impression of poetry - admittedly is not accurate - leads me to believe that the only topics that can discussed in poetry are heartbreak, love, and loss. And while this book does touch on each of those topics, it was obvious to me that the author's entire purpose with these books was to say, "yeah, but aren't we all more than what breaks us, aren't we more than who does or doesn't love us, aren't we more despite our losses?" And I found the entire experience to be a microdose of therapy to remind me that despite how challenging life is and rather unromantic it can be sometimes, I don't lose the feminine power that exists within me.
