Reviews

[Katie Harder-schauer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book spoke to me, probably because I felt like I could relate to almost every poem. These poems will give you a glimpse into the soul of an introvert, and if you are one, you will likely feel like they are about you. This is the first book of poetry that I've read recently where I really felt like I connected and the poems really made an impression on me. I especially liked "You know, Facebook, I Don't KNOW That Person."
