This made me cry a lot I’m not gonna lie, she really hit home with a lot of her words.
Felt like someone was reading my heart and just pouring it all out into a book.

Really recommend this book for any sort of healing whether that’s romantic, death, drama, friendships, military, problems with yourself, it’s all in here. Really love that it wasn’t about just one thing the whole time. Anyone can get something out of this.

Gave me a lot of clarity and confidence in decisions I’ve made already and need to be making now and in the future.

wish I had read this book a year ago. it's a really good read for after a break up. It was a very reassuring read.

Everything I needed to read right now. I can hear Emily’s voice reading some of these. I sobbed and smiled. I’m so thankful for this book. It’s like she is in my head and feeling what I’m feeling. So good. So so so good. ❤️

“Self-Worth is knowing you’re allowed to choose a different ending”

Emily has poured her heart and soul into every word of this book. Through her poetry, memoir, and spoken word style, she beautifully captures what each chapter of life feels like. Whether you’re a divorced single mom, a young adult stepping into a new beginning, or simply navigating a difficult season, her words resonate deeply and bring comfort and healing.

If you’re searching for peace, purpose, or just something that makes you feel seen and understood, this book is a must read. Emily’s writing touches the soul and reminds you that you’re never alone in your journey.

This book was hard for me to put down. Emily’s story resonated with me and her poems hit certain aspects of my healing journey through divorce and starting over again. The words were honest and raw and I felt myself highlighting pieces that fit with my own growth.

The only section that seemed a little out of place was the proud to be an American section of the book. It didn’t seem to fit with the other chapters in the book. It wasn’t enough for me to take away a star on my review, because they were still well written and thoughtful.

There is a section on motherhood, and while I am not a mother, I could see my own mom and stepmom in the writing. This book truly covered all aspects of healing, growth, and love.

A book you can relate to on so many different levels is a book that will have you thinking about it for a long time. A video of this book came up on my FYP on TikTok and it sounded good. Then it kept popping up because once you like something it keeps coming back on. I decided to just go ahead and order it. I am not disappointed. I related to so much of this book it was kind of scary. I needed this many years ago up until now. Definitely a book that I would recommend to anyone in similar situations. Also to people to help them understand what someone in these situations go through and think of.

This book resonated with so much of what I’ve gone through/what I’m going through. There were some parts about being American that I couldn’t relate to but they were still beautifully written! This was my first poetry book and it certainly won’t be my last.

[Brooke Azevedo · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is one of those books that you only read a bit at a time to make it last. Each poem is a treasure. My heart is bursting and breaking and flying read it.

A beautiful book of modern poetry that is so relatable and empowering.
