This book was an emotional roller coaster ride for me. It was very relatable to an extent to me. Reading this brought literal tears to my eyes. I finished this off in a day, but had to take breaks since it was so overwhelming for me.
The writing style was raw, in a good way. There were diary entries as well, so it's just not poetry. The language is simple as well, so a beginner might also find it interesting to read.
Please beware before picking this up, it contains distressful elements such as suicide, depression, insomnia and anxiety.

An honest and raw depiction of mental health that needs to be shared with the world. While incredibly emotive and relatable this book may help those who have not experienced mental illness to understand some of the emotions and different ways that symptoms affect daily life.

I liked this collection, even though it was quite negative. There should be more books on bpd and autism for females. Such raw prose that really spoke to me.

Please read it, even if you don't like poetry, it's just honesty from a fellow bpd sufferer, and so important.

Take care of trigger warnings, though, as it does get quite dark.

Thank you so much to Netgalley and the author for the ARC.

This poetry collection is memorable more because I could relate to most lines, recalling certain moments when I was at my lowest and couldn't find the words to describe it.
Isn't it beautiful that someone somewhere can write things that speak to your situation without even knowing you?
This is what I thought when I read this, for example "no one knows how close I was that night," to remind me of the longest night I had- of the anxiety of decision making, or even the "diary entry from 2017" in which it declares 'I'm a drama queen,' and all I could do was nod and laugh out loud.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

This poetry book was so so so relatable in terms of mental health and the struggles with anxiety, depression, self harm and suicidal thoughts and the role that other people have in our mental health. I often find it hard to find a poetry book that I relate too a huge amount but this one I really related to the majority of the poetry in here!

Thank you, NetGalley for an advanced ARC of this poetry book

For me, this book was an emotional read because I could relate to the emotions as well as the thoughts, this poetry book talks about borderline personality disorder in the lines giving a glimpse into what goes on inside our heads and emotions.

Suffering from depression. Anxiety, OCD, ADHD and Borderline personality disorder are difficult and we go through more emotions and self-doubt as well as numbness than most people on the earth which is exhausting

Being able to relate to the poetry made me love this book.

A beautiful and emotional collection of poems that cover some very important and heavy topics. It felt deeply personal and made me feel seen

The Broken Few is a deeply emotional and personal collection of poetry. This book hit very close to home for me and I believe many other readers will also relate.

I'm not the target market for this book, so please don't take my review too seriously.
I rarely read poetry.
I have no anxiety or mental challenges.

As a result, I struggled to connect with this 149-page book.

I was hoping for some more insight into the solutions to mental health problems.
Instead, these poems felt like a cathartic rant.

I recommend sampling it before buying to confirm it's what you're looking for.

12 pages in, "My abandonment issues have become so extreme that I am even getting attached to my demons." I knew this book would be for me! The poetry in this book hit a lot of points in my life and also in my mind. Some of the poetry could be very HEAVY, but it's so worth it. Super quick pace and easy to read.

Thank you, Netgalley, and Cherish Edition for the ebook for my honest review.

I'm so glad I came across this title. Ijaz has created a stunning collection of poems that I read with intent. The words spoke to me and the topics were relatable. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

I felt like I was reading someone's personal diary. In that sense I could not put it down. I read it in one sitting. I hoped for her to see her own self worth. I wanted to tell her she was important and her sharing what she is going through will help others not to feel alone. I wanted to tell her I'm proud of her words. She left a mark on me.

The author has many thoughts of self harm and suicide and this book should not be read for people that may find that triggering.
