I really enjoyed this collection of poems. Soul writes about subjects close to my heart, close to the hearts of many including falling in and out of love, relationships, both the good and not so good parts and self-image. I’d never read Soul’s work before and was very impressed. The poems spoke to me. I enjoyed every line. I need to read more of her work. The poems in this collection are easy to read and accessible, no poetry snobbery here.

The poems in this books are amazingly beautiful. The words truly mesmerised me. It is an anthology I will come back to again and again, to appreciate the wonderful observations and gorgeous phrases. Meltingly lovely.

I was fortunate to receive a complimentary digital copy of this book (through NetGalley) in return for an honest review.

This book literally grabs you from the prologue and doesn't let you go.
The first thing that grabbed my attention was the title and the cover. This book is amazing visually. Every five poems or so there is an illustration which, in a poetry book is a great idea because it gives the reader a little break.
The poems are not mandatorily happy but they do have a feeling of lightness about them. The themes range from childhood memories, romantic and familial love, good and bad relationships, womanhood, race and how it is to be alive in general.
Thank you to NetGalley and Vi Verbis Press for this ARC.

I didn't connect with the poetry personally, but I did appreciate some verses. I would recommend to teens and adults who like contemporary poetry, especially those just starting to read it.

The writing this poetry collection included was absolutely amazing! I really enjoyed the imagery that was included and I felt that I was there the entire way through the collection. What an amazing job!
