I’m a longtime fan of Mr. Skye, but this book has fewer poems that resonate with joy and wisdom than his others.
A few are absolute keepers, and it’s a must for a completist.

I liked a lot of things about this book. I didn't start reading in a cynical frame of mind, but the way he addressed Love seemed very person-centric...he clearly has someone he cares for very much in mind as he writes. I don't have that right now in my life, so I preferred poems of generalized Love because they are much more relateable right now. I can see how magical it would be to someone reflecting on their own Love, but for me it kind of served as a reminder for what is not in my life. I don't want to use the word "missing" because a person can live a full life alone. I am just not part of a love story right now, and I think this book holds a richer meaning for those who are.

Easily my most favorite Brian Andreas book I've read, he just has a way with words that makes you feel all tingly inside. He's a great reminder to me to not take life so seriously and to just love people well.

A beautiful and inspiring book of poetry and affirmations. I'll return to this one again and again.

This poetry speaks to me on a level very few poems do

I'm not sure how to categorize Brian Andreas's books, but I love his stories. He captures so much meaning in so few words. I could read the stories over and over and I often do. I love the Secrets shared in this book and refer to them often.

Gave this to a friend who recently beat cancer. She whispered something wonderful to me after I did so, all thanks to these stories about love. Thank you.

I simply love anything he creates.

Brian Andreas' collection "Something Like Magic" is very sincerely expressed -- it is praise poetry intermixed with his art. His is definitely a relaxing voice, one that is sentimental and kindly admonishes rather than forcefully suggests how to love/live. Sometimes he's a bit too long winded, sometimes he's too abrupt, but that doesn't take away from the fact he is pointing out meaningful things. All in all, a cute read!
