Welcome to Litsy!

Don‘t let her celebrity status keep you from this book. Her words are raw and ring true for all of us who have lost that person that contained your world and then had to watch them move on without you.

Reading this book felt like I was reading someone's journal. The feelings were true and raw. Many were very beautiful to read and some of them made me cry.

I really wanted to like this, it was clearly so personal and difficult to write. I just really didn‘t like any of the poems. It just felt like less good Rupi Kaur poetry. I‘ll defend this style of poetry to the death but not this example of it. Giving it a so so rather than a pan cause I can imagine it connecting with me more if I was younger, maybe, and I might not be the target audience.

As much as I wanted to like this one... I didn't. The poems all seem half-baked and uninspired - the sort of thing that a student might write for a homework assignment in a class they're not invested in. I fear that this publication was more of a pandering money grab based on her celebrity status rather than a poetry book of any real merit.

Excited about this one - I've heard good things.

I picked up this book intending to read only a few poems to put myself to sleep. Lo and behold, I finished it! I loved it that much. The only con, it couldve done wo the illustrations. They didnt do anyhing for me. Also, Iove her on Riverdale.

These feel more like journal musings rather than *poetry* and would have benefitted from being broken up by theming. But nonetheless, love & heartbreak is something most people can relate to. ❤️

whatever universe this is
that allows me to be on the

I received this in the mail today and I read it in one sitting. The poems were beautiful! Lili Reinhart definitely has a place in the writing universe. I hope she continues to write poetry and publish. I look forward to reading more of her work! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!
