She Felt Like Feeling Nothing

I am quite a fan of R.H Sin. His poetry speaks from the heart, and he has the ability to read women and our emotions very well. Reading his poems makes you feel empowered. With this collection, I like the continued connections and themes between many of the poems. Perhaps not the best collection he has published, but still well worth a read.

I really enjoyed this collection of poetry by r.h. Sin. This is the first book I have read by him and I will definitely be reading others. I enjoyed the message behind the poems. It is a struggle for many women to get over someone who didn’t appreciate them. I believe that r.h Sin puts the feelings of many women into words that they cannot say. I look forward to other collections of poetry by r.h Sin.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. R.H. Sin really gets the female experience with love. I really connected with this book and found myself going back to particular poems to re-read them because they were so relatable. I felt like they were written for me. I experienced the full range of emotions whilst reading this book: sadness, anger, frustration, pain, and happiness. The most powerful emotion was the sense of connectedness and validation I felt as I read, knowing I wasn't alone in my feelings. I also loved the cover art and the texturized paper on each page. Another R.H. Sin book to add to my collection both at home and at the school I teach at!

This is another beautiful collection of poems from r.h. Sin. I found them extremely moving.

Another lovely collection of poems about relationships, and heartbreak. There were very few poems that personally stuck with me in this collection, however the ones that did are already memorized. A beautiful collection that i would certainly recommend to my poetry loving friends.

I have never read r.h. Sin before. I have seen her poetry everywhere and finally got curious enough to see what it was about. Poetry is very hard for me to enjoy as it comes across as cliche and whiny for me most of the time. This collection ventured into these adjectives a couple times, but overall the collection was a testament to female strength and solidarity. As someone who believes Rupi Kaur is overrated, r.h. sin was a poet I believed would fall into the same category. I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy Sin more than Kaur. I didn't feel like angsty lines were smushed together and then broken for lines in the most awkward places. Writing about female struggles can be so overdone and can go badly quickly. This collection didn't do that for me and I was glad to read this poetry collection before its release.

Reading two different volumes by RH Sin kinda made them blur into one. Although the romantic elements in this one warmed my heart

While I LOVE the fact that there is a resurgence of poetry because of what is called "instagram poets" there can be a slight disconnect for me due to how small the individual poems can be. Each one needs to be taken in with one glance, with a single east to read instagram post.

I'm a fan, for sure. Most "instagram poets" making waves seem to be female, so a male prespective (and especially a black male perspective) is brilliant.
I will definitely reread his work

this was a beautiful collection of poems that were inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time. i enjoyed this a lot more than i was expecting -however towards the end, the message felt repetitive and the writing style empty which resulted in the 3 stars. regardless i did gain some beautiful quotes to commit to memory and feel refreshed nonetheless.

Trigger warning: Abusive relationship

"save yourself for yourself
right now
only you deserve you"

I was broken hearted and was harassed when I started to read this. I can somehow relate to the emotion that this book wants to convey. I smiled and cried ugly tears while reading the book but I enjoyed it. I felt the pain and want to stop it but I don't know how. Some entry made me overwhelmed by my emotion.

She Felt Like Feeling Nothing succeeds at making me think of fresh beginnings and the beauty of it. The themes get a bit repetitive and hoping the author will explore more of it in the next book.

I received a copy of this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have always been a fan of Sin, so I was really excited to get started on this one. As always, this one didn't disappoint too. The book mainly touches on heartbreaks and the strength that we need to get out of toxic relationships. Although the themes are rather repetitive, I found it acceptable as I'm the kind who savours poetry slowly. I was really connected with some of the pieces - those are the ones worth bookmarking and reading again and again. That being said, it would've been even better if more themes and language play were explored.

scene thirty-eight really struck me

"the rain falls from within
overflowing internally
i'm drowning, slowly consumed
by the sadness of it all
and somehow living in this moment
feels like dying all the same"

I read the first few pages and went straight to amazon to put the actual paperback on my wishlist, cause I need this at home.

I'm not saying it's the best and most original stuff I ever read, but I loved it and it made me feel a lot of things. I can't wait to re-read this over and over again.

"the wrong love
makes the poet
want to write"

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a collection of small prose that carries across big emotions. I liked it well enough, not quite as much as I was hoping to, but it stayed in one place and didn't try to move on to any other feeling for the entire collection.

This is a beautiful cover for a beautiful book.

I was initially surprised that it started out with poems that rhymed but I found it enchanting. I haven't read a poetry book that rhymes in awhile. Moving on, the prose and format of the poetry is generally the type I like to read.

Scene nineteen was by far my favourite.
"in you
are poems
that aren't meant
to be read by everyone"

This poetry captured the art of heartbreak and love. A very meaningful read.

I've been trying to get back into poetry lately. So I was excited to give this a read. I really enjoyed it, a lot of it felt like having a conversation with a friend. this book told me so many things I needed to hear and i adored that it felt so personal to me. Although, quite a lot of the poems in this book were the same poem over and over again, just in slightly different wording. Which was annoying. But over all I liked this book and would recommend it to a friend.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Poetry like this is what every woman needs in her life, whether you're happy in love or dealing with heartache, this book will give strength when you need it most.

Scene Thirty-three is too true. "You can't plant yourself in unhealthy relationships and expect roses to grow,"
