Lovely collection of poems based on longing. Longing for love longing for connection longing for experience longing for adventure it’s all here. It really touched me to read this very special collection.

Who knew the human heart was a place of such thrilling, multi-hued and devastating complexity? This poet does - from each word to the next, line by line, poem to poem, cover to cover, his heart is seen and felt to our great benefit.

The book is a tiny, relaxing read. its something you can cozy up and spend an evening with. The poems talk about love and loss and of course, longing to be with the one you love. Its good old school romance but I liked how it didn't use cliched metaphors and instead came up with something new, something humorours.
It was a good read for me. I enjoyed it.

The first thing I have to say about this book is that its title fits perfectly: those are undoubtedly poems of longing. They taste like heartbreak, but in a calm, not 100% painful, only partly. There’s love and care, and even a little bit of hope, there. But it’s still sad. I guess the word I’m looking for is nostalgic.

Reading this book felt like the first few minutes after a crisis, after crying your heart out: you’re still desperate, but it’s no longer intense. The only thing that’s left is the sudden realisation that there’s nothing else you can do except to wait, and that’s how reading this book felt like.

It’s personal, but not specific enough for one to be unable to relate to it; Juan-Paolo managed to get to the roots of those emotions and to portray them as if a specific point of heartbreak had been pinpointed. It’s often hard to review poetry with much criticism, so I’ll just say that I’d recommend most of the poems in this collection.

Poems that capture the emotions and desires, particularly that speak to younger audiences and those who are seeking affection or perhaps recovering from loss. The feelings are genuine and Perre seems to open his heart through his words, without trying to please anyone other than himself. A book that will speak to anyone who is recovering from a broken heart or other emotional loss, and relay the message that others know how it feels to be lost or lonely.

@Thanks NetGalley for giving me the access to read these kinds of poems full of love and emotions.
I loved every poem, and it thrilled my heart and also my mind. I really love to read such a well written poem dedicated to love and many more. Furthermore, I give 5 stars to this book.

Beautiful collection. Would definitely recommend it.
The poems are written beautifully and the emotion - the love and the angst are expressed so well.
