Ramblings of a Sad Teenager

by A. Thompson

I owed it to my younger self to do something with these. If she only knew how strong she was. How wonderful it all turned out.

A short story and small collection of poems from my youth. With minimal edits, these words are straight from my teenage heart.

I enjoyed this up until the tragic ending it felt very much like being a teenager in love again. Wow so many emotions so over the top so much promise so much detachment from reality like wow teenage love is self-centric and powerful and sad. If you think this book is juvenile then you didn't read the title. I felt like I experienced all those years again, the shame and cringe of masquerading love while underneath your ego is just getting fed. I am thankful I read this book. This makes me think about young love in a more depressing light. The search of meaning and importance through romantic relationship, of playing a part rather than being a whole individual. I am glad it is short otherwise I wouldnt have made it through it.

It wasn’t bad. I went into this book under the impression it was an anthology of poems, but it was a little more than that, and I didn’t necessarily vibe with what turns it was taking.

No hate to author but this was such a random ending?????????? A little disturbing

Would have been much creepier if it wasn’t written when the author was a teenager, so 3 stars instead of 2.

If the book was longer it would’ve been rated higher probably. There’s not much content and it all unravels very fast. Not bad but not really good.
