** I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This in no way influences my review.**

I'm not normally a poetry reader but something about these poems really hits you in the feels. They're about all sorts of things from family to body image that I think any women and probably some men would relate too. I'm seeing a lot of complaints that these aren't "real" poems but I disagree. The author really has a gift not only with words but with choosing the best ones to really hit her points home. I loved every page.
