This is the first book that I have read from the author and I must say it's peaceful, encouraging, and inspiring. I have a lot of expectations from this book though since I've heard about this author a lot. I enjoyed it but not as much as I thought I would. The drawing is interesting and I the cover is pretty.

Overall it's a good read. Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the advance reading copy.

I sped through this poetry book and thoroughly loved it. Reading this was like talking to someone who truly understands you and made me feel like Rafiki from The Lion King was telling me to "remember who you are" without ever apologizing for it. Some of the poems moved me more than others, but her words still had an impact. Her remarks are particularly motivating in that she does not change for anyone and always remains truly herself; we can feel her perseverance and the pain she went through which made me enjoy it that much more. It spoke on so many different topics but mainly served as a reminder to anybody reading it that change can happen on your own accord and that only you have the strength to save yourself in every way. I ALSO LOVE THE COVER IT'S SO PRETTY!

Thank you for allowing me to read this arc.

I was so so so excited to get this I immediately downloaded it and sped through it. BUT it was so disappointing! I usually like amanda lovelace's poetry I think she really toes the line between bland and accessible but this one leans so far into bland it was a slog and its barely 200 pages long.

"Like a moth, she makes it her mission to find the light in everything. No matter how short her life may be."

I loved this book. The imagery was stunning, the words hit deep, and I'm so glad Lovelace is back to writing more poetry.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

This is my first book by Amanda Lovelace, and I'm not sure her writing style is for me. This is an empowered collection where the author finds self-confidence and indepedence. The voice felt young to me, and I found myself having trouble relating, but I think a younger audience will love this collection. I did enjoy the theme of rooting for other powerful and successful women!

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

She Followed the Moon Back to Herself is a stand-alone poetry book by Amanda Lovelace and really resonated with me. The poems are heartfelt and relatable and left me feeling like Amanda had looked into my soul. This is quite an uplifting collection that makes you feel seen and also makes you reflect on life and situations. I really want a physical copy of this book so I can tab it and pick it up whenever I need to to give myself a boost or encouragement. If you like poems that make you feel seen, empowered, or make you feel like you're having a sit down with an old friend, this is definitely one you need to pick up.

I liked this poetry collection and I think it's definitely more hopeful that Lovelace's other collections. I do think it was odd that every other page was this pink page with little stars on it - made it feel like there was a minimum page count that had to be met. I did like the other art and the beginning and end though those were beautiful.

Another beautiful book of poetry from Amanda Lovelace! I loved how relatable the poems were, as well as the beautiful illustrations. The poems were short and sweet and just fun to read.

This collection of poems was so enjoyable to read. As the collection went on, you really got to see the author's personal growth and development. There were a lot of poems that I really connected to and feel many women can connect to as well. These poems are really inspiring and empowering. I found myself smiling while reading many of them. I definitely recommend this to all women, especially those who have found their authentic selves and are living the life they truly want.

I really enjoyed the poems, there were obviously some I favoured more. But overall it's a great ensemble. I loved the format- it felt like a journey. I liked the self reflective nature of the poetry. My only qualm would be the pink separator pages I found really interrupted the flow. I guess it's slightly different as I read it in a digital format and in print they may not be so distracting.

She does it again! Poetry that makes your whole body feel like sparkling wine. It hits so well and the topic is so important to write about. Accepting yourself as you are and loving yourself! The grapich portions of the book was so beautiful that I would've liked to buy them as prints.

It's been a long time since I read a book of poetry by Amanda Lovelace, but I really enjoyed this one. The poetry was hopeful, and it was a nice shift towards brighter days. I loved the pink page art and the additional art pages at the end. Not all of the poems spoke to me, but I think this is still a great collection that will speak to many.

Thanks to NetGalley, Amanda Lovelace, and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the chance to read and review. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

Truly wonderful. Relatable, vulnerable and wholesome. Beautiful little poems to make you feel like you’re not alone in this big world. Loved this

I've read all of Amanda Lovelace's work and enjoyed them but this one is by far my favorite. The style is classic Lovelace but shows a continued growth. The very first poem caught me and kept me for the rest of the volume. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to own a physical copy!

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Wow. I have loved pretty much all of the poetry books that I’ve read by Amanda Lovelace, however this has got to be my favourite.

The themes around body image and positive self-love is something that I relate to and found it very inspiring. In particular the last page (advice from future self) hit home. It is comforting to know that you are not alone with your worries and it is a journey that will eventually see itself out. The journey of self discovery, self love and confidence is pure and I’m so grateful I was given the opportunity to read this book ahead of its release.

Everything happens for a reason. New mindset = incoming.

I would start of by appreciating (and giving a virtual standing ovation) for the illustrations! The ones inside are so magical!
Coming to the poetry, I found most of them relatable, although there were some I had difficulty connecting with. The thing I liked the most about this book is how it talks about self love. It felt like the poet was talking to me and motivating me. In a way, this also gives an insight into the poet's life. Reading this was a wholesome experience. I would recommend this to all the poetry lovers.

Thank you for the free ARC!

I think I was expecting a bit more about this one. I like Amanda's writing, but there was something missing in most poems. Some were simple and good, but thinking about the whole collection I think it was missing more emotions.

I always love Amanda's raw emotional poetry. This collection has to be a new favorite of mine from her. Empowering, touching and always hitting me personally in different ways. I will ALWAYS be first in line for a new Amanda Lovelace!

This was an incredible book of poems about self discovery and self love. It was captivating from the very first page and so relatable. No matter what season of life you're in, there's a page in here for you. It was beautiful to see the transformation from unsure and insecure to confident and empowered. There is something so special about words that are so simple yet powerful that can change your perspective on what it means to truly be alive.
