This short collection of poetry resonated with me as r.h. Sin continues to publish strikingly emotive writing!

** I got an ARC which is generously provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review **

Well, I loved this poetry so much. I only read it in two sittings, one I did it on campus, then back at my dorm the other. This book told me so much about heartbroken, how the writer mended with it to reach the joyous. Somehow, I could see me in those lines cz I did have a "bad" relationship back then, so yeah, I found it so relatable.

I found my favorite phrase as well in it. Unfortunately, I could not copy-paste it right over here. All I could remember was it's kinda very good phrase for a book lover, just like me.

Ahh, lastly if you're looking for some poetry books to read, this one's definitely on top of my favorite poetry book list.

"she found heaven
in a bookstore
she got lost
in the pages"

When I saw this listed as a book to review my heart basically melted. I recently stumbled upon this poet and fell in love with the simplicity of his words. These aren't literary works of art, but poems aren't always meant to be. Everyone reads for different reasons. I read poetry to find solace in the fact that I am not alone with how I am feeling. This collection does just that.

This is split into two different sections.
Pain|Chaos and Pleasure|Peace

Pain|Chaos kicked my heart to the curb, and Pleasure|Peace put a band-aid on it.
These are raw, simple, and straight to the point.

You'll love them or you'll hate them. That's all a matter of who you are, and what you're feeling when you read them. People tend to love what they can relate to, and I loved these. I book marked at least 20 of them because they hit so close to home.

This is an amazing collection of poems to add to your shelf.
Something you can pick up, flip to a marked page, and remember "I'm not the only one".

My best friend discovered r.h. Sin at Target... I won't really say discover. More like "Hey looks at this beautiful cover!!" We have a thing for covers. And that was the beginning of the end.

When I started searching on NetGalley for titles and poem books. This was on there. HOW FREAKING AWESOME!!! Right??? A free r.h. Sin poetry book??!! If only i could have the physical copy (already pre ordered).

Let's start with Pain/Chaos... This shows the painful and chaotic inner thinking that may go through the minds of, not just woman, but for every human. " You're not in love, you're in pain, and there's nothing romantic or loving about that" sometimes the truth hurts. But seeing that others' lived and prospered after tragedy (because losing love is tragic. Period)

Then there is Pleasure/Peace. I beautiful collection of the pleasure and peace that MAY or may not come after the breakup. "Look inward, for the things, they refuse, to give you" Inner beauty after being hurt and let down.

r.h. Sin spoke to my soul in a beautiful way. And I always will be thankful for it. When you have pain and sorrow in your heart, seeing others write about it helps the healing process.

R.H Sin captures every emotion I feel. His writing is from the heart and is accessible, raw and beautiful in its simplicity. He is an amazing poet and can be so perceptive about women. His writing makes you feel as though you are understood.

r.h. Sin has created a beautiful collection of poems that speak to the reader. The pieces are short but also powerful, and emotive.
