Breakup Blueprint

by Julia M.

Breakup Blueprint is a journey through poetry of the feelings and emotions we meet during a breakup—from dealing with an indescribable pain to finding closure from heartbreak—these poems were written so people know they are not alone and their feelings will come and go in waves—just like Mother Nature's beautiful ocean.

"staring at my ceiling,
i realized my tears
are no longer for you.
they are for me;
the me you destroyed."

i really tried to like it, but it just seems like something anyone could write while journaling, not poetry

Honestly I loved this poetry book! If you’re going through a break up this is definitely a good one to read. Finished it in under an hour!

i want to hate you

i can only hate me
because i wasn’t
enough.

Hits right in the feels

“i have moments where i am free. free from the thought of you. free from the pain and tears. they are, though, just moments, barely long enough for a breath or smile or laugh or thought before the memory of you imprisons me again.”

I think this may have been more beneficial for me a few years ago, but since adopting my aroace identity it seems like a lifetime ago that I felt all the things talked about in this book. Overall, not bad but I just don't think I could relate to it at this point in my life (plus poetry really is not my thing anyways).

Look you can’t beat a poem book

Ouch

if you’ve gone through a bad breakup you need to read this book. it’s quick! i could’ve finished it in a hour but mom life. 😅

If you’ve recently gone through a breakup I recommend checking this out. There’s a new poem for every emotion that come with a breakup. You start out bitter and lonely and it ends with moving on and being content with being alone.

It was utterly uneventful, but there were a few poems that were pretty decent

[Kohi · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is exactly the type of book that I need and want during this time, the one that doesn’t take too much work to decipher, something that I can relate to, something that would tell me that someone understands.

I love this book because overall, it’s me. It’s everything I feel and think. I can quote the whole book and feel nothing and everything at the same time.

Thank you for being what I need. Though it feels hollow, empty. Not as striking as the others, but it’s just the right one I need at this very moment, with the kind of headspace and emotional capacity I have.

it's not bad but i wouldn't say it's great either. some poems repeat the same word 4-5 times in one sentence and there are a load of short pieces. one sentence poems are a majority of this book. it has some very good poems in it though, just not for me and not anything like the 5 star reviews made it out to be.

[Samanda · Rating 3 out of 5]

Um livro sobre término, de como uma pessoa se reconstroi após essa situação. Essa relação já não tava boa antes mesmo do outro tomar coragem de terminar, as perguntas que surgem, a teimosia em pensar que ele vai voltar, a não aceitação das circunstâncias e a decisão de se deixar curar, de reconhecer que ainda existe vida após isso e que você merece mais de si mesma.

[Stacey · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm not usually a fan of poetry but this collection of poems was just what I needed. Even if the author's experience and your own may not match completely, Julia still manages to write an extremely relatable book that truly captures the full range of emotions a breakup can encompass. I felt seen, understood and validated after reading it.

[Mauro · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very average where the writing is concerned, but better than the past several poetry books I've read because this takes you through a story instead of each poem having zero connection to the last. very nicely rounded.

I enjoyed this. it describes an emotion I personally haven't felt, but the story of growth actually managed to be pretty touching.

[Manamenno · Rating 3 out of 5]

I give this book a 3 stars because of not all the quotes in this book are great or even half of it , its more random and okay ones not very inspiring .
but as the same time there is good ones more I found them on TikTok :)

[Destinee Martin · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has helped me so much through getting over my extremely rough break up. I recommend reading it in the stages you’re currently facing, and being honest with yourself. It will help you if you let it!

[Lilli Holmes · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was great and honestly did help me through some emotions I couldn’t quite put words to. Loved it

[Shooshi · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was raw and intense and I felt some parts of it. It was good but I didn't like how it made me sad.

[Cruz Zamora · Rating 3 out of 5]

some good things in this, others are sure like journal entries or random thoughts. however, they still carry weight that resonates with the heartbroken.

[Jordyn Grant · Rating 5 out of 5]

The perfect book to read after a break up. This book made me feel as if I am on the right past to becoming fully healed and happy in my own self.

i prefer pillow thoughts more than this one, bc it’s more relatable but it was really nice and motivational

First poetry book but right after the hat it was amazing. The words were so beautiful and the right about to feel her pain
