El Hoffman and 5 other people liked Torey's review of The Love I Give: A Poetry Collection on Love, Grief, Heartbreak, and Honesty: "Neurodivergent poetry for a neurodivergent girl; many relatable poems. But girl, cut that man loose. He's just stringing you along until something "better" comes along. ✂️ Snip snip, girl, know your worth."
