Freya O'Brien is an English poet and illustrator who channels her heart through her pen. She creates poems and illustrations based on her personal life, thoughts and emotions. She specifically focuses on her experiences with mental health, grief, trauma, family, relationships and healing.
Freya uses a pen and paper as an outlet on the darkest of days, and shares her work so if anyone relates to her experiences, they can feel less alone in theirs.

I view writers block as my brain signalling that I need a break. So, I allow myself one. I put my pen down and take time off. I go for walks in nature, I see loved ones and / or try something new. When I feel inspired and like the words are itching to be on the paper, only then do I start writing again. I then usually have a surge of ideas!(less)

When I stop, I feel lighter and more understood.
Every time my pen scrawls across the page, I felt like I come to life inside - writing gives me energy. (less)

Okay

I honestly thought Logan was a man at first!

It started off intriguing, but there wasn’t enough tension with the police and crime elements for me. Their murders just seemed to fade into the background. The plot just felt predictable and a bit flat

Abysmal

I thought this was going to be a witty, insightful self-help book. It wasn’t.
It ended up feeling like a mish mash of philosophy references, pop culture nods, and the author’s indulgent youth.
I really struggled with the author’s voice and tone

"Simple but moving poetry. Refreshing to see there was love after the trauma. The self-help tips were an excellent addition. I will be reading more of O'Brien's work."

I never DNF books. It’s just not in my nature. I usually power through to the end because I hate leaving things unfinished. This book, however, became the exception… my first ever DNF.

I just couldn’t get into it. I’m usually quite a fast reader, but
