This was such a beautiful book. Amanda never fails to bring me to tears. Her poetry is heartbreaking, reflective but full of hope of better days!

I enjoy Amanda Lovelace's poetry. Some might think it's too simple or cliche, but I like revisiting certain poems from her work from time to time. I will say this probably isn't my top favorite of her work, but it was still an enjoyable read. I'll be continuing to read the poetry that she puts out.

I know all of Amanda Lovelace’s poetry books seem to be the same, but honestly, why change something if it works? I LOVE her writing, it’s so beautiful. The cover of this one is super pretty too, definitely worth getting a physical copy. 5 stars and highly recommend!

First, thank you to netgalley, the publisher and the author for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for a review. These opinions are my own. I LOVE me some Amanda Lovelace. The way she writes her poetry is easy to follow and hits close to home, however this particular book from her is not my favorite. I give it a solid 3.5 stars out of 5.

So grateful to have been approved to read this advanced reading copy.

I love Amanda Lovelace's poetry, however after all these books it's all really starting to sound the same. This collection of poetry really sounded no different to her other books and it left me feeling like i'd even already read some of the poems.

Wasn't really a big hit for me, it was good but not great. it felt too familiar and not in a good way

This collection was a solidly okay read for me, entertaining and readable but not particularly compelling or memorable. I don't know if it's because Lovelace's style has been replicated so many times and shared endlessly on instagram but this ended up feeling a little repetitive and overdone. It's possible this suffered because of the success of this type of poetry in the past few years. Overall it's an enjoyable read but not as moving or emotionally layered as I had hoped it would be.

As this title had now been archived, I ordered the book & read it on my own! I absolutely love the symbolism & poetry in this book and will def repeat buy! I also love the aesthetic of the book & the images inside the book. Well done!

Another wonderful collection from Amanda Lovelace, and like much of her other works it deals with serious issues and does so with short beautiful poems. The art throughout the book was beautiful and went well with all the poems. I loved the explorations of gender and how dealing with life can be hard, but still wonderful.

Thank you Netgalley for the copy of the ARC.

As always, Amanda's writing is inspiring and hopeful, I loved the journey she took us on in this collection. It truly was beautiful however I felt like I couldn't quite connect with it as well as her other works (totally a me thing) so I found it a little hard to keep reading.

I love Amanda Lovelace's poetry and I always will. We don't have a lot of the same experiences but the writing is just so raw and vulnerable and I can relate to that feeling.

As always, Amanda Lovelace hits the deepest parts of my soul with her poems. People will connect to poetry and different poets differently, but she has remained one of the authors that I relate to most. The cover art is gorgeous alongside the words themselves. As a child, my mother always told me she loved me to the moon and back, so this title was perfect for me in a way. Lovelace is a top read for me and will most likely remain so for the foreseeable future. I highly recommend checking out her oracle cards as well!

Love loved loved. Emotional and raw. Seriously cannot get enough! I felt like I could really relate to the poems and felt seen by Amanda’s words. This collection really showed empowerment and authenticity in one’s self.

Loved this. As a later-in-life lesbian and woman who has struggled with an ED her whole life, I felt this book deeply. Never felt so seen by someone I haven't met. Please keep writing.

I ADORE a well done poetry book. This one was full of feminism, self love, and body positivity. It was very easy to read and a bingeable book! I finished it in one sitting and really enjoyed it. Definitely can’t wait to check out more from this author!! 4/5⭐️

Rip my heart out and stomp on it why don’t we? I truly was able to connect to these poems in a way I don’t think I have ever connected to a collection before. Amanda Lovelace poems never fail to disappoint and I so look forward to reading every collection she releases!

Very beautifully written made me tear up a little bit. Also caused a lot of reflection upon my self. 10/10 HIghly reccomend.

Another standout from Amanda Lovelace! I haven’t missed a single one of her releases and with good reason - this one was also fantastic. Thank you!

I haven't read much of her work before and I quite liked thsi collection, it was both digestable and deep
