Drowning, Resurfacing: Notes on Heartbreak & Healing

by Frankie Riley

Drowning, Resurfacing is a collection of prose and short essays about heartbreak and healing.

Separated into two sections: Drowning and Resurfacing, it is a book that confronts the heart-wrenching but relatable reality of lost love, unhealthy relationships, and the deepest darkest emotions that come with heartbreak. It also tackles the how’s and the why’s – how childhood attachments impact our future relationships, why we are drawn to toxic people, how trauma impacts the mind and body, and why we repeat unhealthy relationship patterns. It is a book that will help you to heal your heart, and remind you of what you truly deserve.

4/5⭐️

Ein gutes poetry book für all diejenigen, die aus einer toxischen Beziehung kommen. Ich persönlich bin in einer sehr glücklichen Beziehung, daher konnte das Buch mich nicht abholen. Die Zitate in dem Buch haben mich dennoch sehr bewegt

Had some very deep concepts and I appreciated her writing and poetry. However, I felt like I experienced half the book from TikTok which is what caught my eye to read it in the first place. Looking forward to seeing her progression with other books.

I wish i would've read this book sooner after my break up. It would've helped me a lot.
Still glad i finally read it, it was filled with lots of nice little advice.
