This wasn't how I expected the book to be. Overall an insightful read however not a book that I'll remember/recommend to others. I was hoping for more! I think I expected more 'poems/quotes' on their own.
My favourite part about the book was the illustrations, I just wish there were more!
- Review for Net Galley and the publishers.

This poetry book is outstanding. The author's story is relatable and her writing is evocative. The true story told in this piece is one that will resonate strongly with any woman who has been disappointed by men and experienced heartbreak and loss, it is perfect for any woman who is or has had to learn to love themselves instead of pinning their hopes on a knight on a white horse. Many of these poems are incredibly quotable and the word choice is sublime, I'll want to come back to this book again and again.

"Silence is a quiet rebellion; it is the laying down of swords; it is all the women in me you ever hurt declaring, You don’t deserve my breath."

Beautifully written poems.
I felt them all and couldn't put it down. You can feel everything she is saying.

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read an eARC of this book!

"One of my greatest fears is I will die without finding a single soul who knows what to do with all this fire behind my eyes."

Wow! This story was written so beautifully. The way the author crafted the words of the verse and prose in this book was stunning. I found myself engulfed in the words from page one. The imagery and story telling was so unique but also relatable. It was real. The flow of words made this read go by quickly and I was turning pages and suddenly it was done.

We get to follow the narrator as they fall in and out of love with a man and then eventually, get to go with her as she learns to love herself. Again, the words are beautiful and I could read them for hundreds of pages. I appreciate the craft that is this book and am interested in reading more books with this style.

Thanks to the publisher for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Confessions of Her is the perfect book for anyone trying to get into poetry/verse books.

Following the speaker through falling into and out of love, dealing with heart break, then eventually finding love in herself, this book perfectly blurs the lines between the universal and personal and love and short form poems in order to create a reading experience anyone can enjoy.

Confessions of Her by Cindy Cherie takes us on a beautiful and empowering journey of passion, loss, and ultimately finding the love that we deserve within ourselves. The prose is deeply personal, and will certainly resonate with anyone who has ever experienced the agony of heartbreak. The unique way in which poetry and prose is presented is both effective and accessible, and I was completely swept up in the journey. Recommended.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Central Avenue Publishing for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Beautiful, relatable poetry and prose. This journey through love and heartbreak will resonate with anybody who has loved and lost. It was really easy to see some of my own feelings and experiences in this book, which gave it all the more meaning to me. I loved the fact there was a lot more than just sadness and heartbreak to the poetry- it was great to see a lot of positive thinking and happiness in there too. I knew I loved this book as I was desperate to quote it, to share the words which I found my own experiences in and know that others will too. Simply beautiful writing that is heart wrenching in places but so positive and up lifting too, a sure success

Cindy Cherie explores relationships from beginning to end in a beautiful and meaningful book of poetry. Whatever stage of the relationship the reader is in, in love, breakup, moving on... this will resonate with you.
