Prose submerged in heartbreak and loss fill this coming-of-age poetry. The conciseness of each poem lends itself to a quick, but powerful read.

Favorite poems lines from Be Kind To Yourself:
and the sun is not concerned if someone has to squint their eyes
It will shine and it will not apologize for its light

Sophie's poetry has caught my eye on social media on multiple occasions, speaking directly to very human experiences. With a mix of gentleness and challenge, she asks us to be graceful with our past selves and work toward a future that allows us to be fully ourselves. Her style is extremely approachable for those who aren't entirely comfortable with poetry. I'd recommend it highly to those who need reminders that it does, in fact, get better.

Have you ever read something, sat back, and wondered how the author crawled into your head and found all the things you needed to hear? That's how this was. Sophie somehow touched on all the things I needed and craved. What a gift it is to feel a little less alone.

"May I show up for myself-broken, fractured, or bruised-and may I love others like this-with grace, patience, and truth."

There is a lot of great poetry out in the world, but it is rare for a collection to stand out to me like this one did. I started to bookmark my favorite poems and highlight my favorite parts, only to realize I touched on almost every single poem in this collection.

"I'll be okay. I'm relearning how to love, and that is brave."

This is absolutely a book I want on my bookshelf or even a permanent fixture on my nightstand.
Thank you Sophie Diener for creating something that spoke to my heart and soul in a way I truly wasn't expecting.

To close out:
"Today I hope you look at yourself and you are kind."

Someone Somewhere Maybe is a decently written collection of poetry, but they certainly feel like a new poet's writings. I think the author has promise; I related more to her poems when they used more ethereal language and less fact-based (your Jeep, Youtube, etc)
