Very cathartic easy read. Quick as well as you can see from the start and end dates. Hit very close to home at some points and it was emotional.

My very first poet/poetry book, is the reason why I absolutely fell in love with the poetry genre.

A true masterpiece. It made my soul burst into colors that I myself couldn't distinguish. I really loved the way she had portrayed so many emotions so beautifully, almost made me tear up.

3.5 stars!

I'm really not usually a poetry person. Generally, I find poetry to be pretentious with big words for the sake of big words and imagery that doesn't really make sense. But I'd heard a lot of good things about this book, so I decided to check it out. I really loved that the words were so simple, but the way she strung them together was so poignant. I actually enjoyed the poems and found that they were deep and emotional. Granted, some of the poetry read a bit like emo writings from high school and that was a bit much, but overall, I found these poems really beautiful and inspirational.
