I didn't know the person the author was trying to tell her stories to everyone, but the poems managed to capture the essence of it. It was engaging halfway and it is somehow a unique take in writing it in poems. Overall, it was good but not really the best to hooked my attention on.

Thank you to Netgalley for the eARC!!

I felt pretty neutral about this collection. I was interested in seeing how the author approached Allison Mack's story through poetry. There were some interesting and engaging poems in this but ultimately it wasn't my favorite.

I stumbled on this book, and I’m glad I did. I had no idea who Allison Mack was before reading this book, but the journey these poems took me on was fascinating. The author does an excellent job at picking into Allison’s brain, the life she had and how she fell into *him*.

I tend to be picky about poetry. I can’t stand Dickinson, and most modern poets I’ve read lack artistry. Silva-Dunbar writes with a clever twist on words I have not seen in a long time.
