i've been following nicole on instagram for a while and finally got around to reading some of her work and oh my goodness... so beautiful! there's a really gorgeous narrative flow and each poem feels like it leads on to the next which i really really loved. femininity and love and identity are depicted in such relatable ways and this is just such a stunning body of work! the cover art is also so pretty and i can't get enough of looking at it, if i had my own apartment i would honestly just display it on the living room coffee table

This is honestly the first poetry book I read that I loved in a while. Very relatable yet deep and lyrical. I can see this becoming a classic easily.
