After reading 'Textual Love' I catch myself reminiscing these mini poetic love letters, imagining, what secret messages distant lovers send each other in the lonely midnight hours, or high noon!

IT'S FINALLY HERE! Due to the (very) slow start of 2021 regarding my publishing journey, I'm a bit behind in my publishing schedule. But that's good for everyone in the long run because it means more chapbooks for you to enjoy!
Textual Love is my third poetry book.
A little background on the cover, you say? Of course! The flowers on the cover are dark pink and light pink roses. Everyone knows why roses are the preferred flower: they signify love! But why not red roses? I find red roses on a book cover about love are a little cliche at this point, so my cover artist found these beautiful roses at my request for pretty roses that weren't red.
They're real roses with prickly thorns and a dark green stem. The significance to the stem not being lively green is the fact that love isn't always perfect; there are bumps in the road, and you'll see a mini story regarding that in Textual Love. (But don't worry! The chapbook ends happily.)
Please be aware that Textual Love is compiled of romantic and sometimes erotic short story poems about love. It's highly advised for people 18 years or older.
If you're a hopeless romantic at heart and you love one-liner poetic texts, this poetry book is for you!

I forgot to add that I have an AuthorTube video on my channel about Textual Love! If you want to learn more about this book, then my video is definitely for you.

Think love letters in text form, you get to see them all in this! It's a sweet read!

Brief, romantic, adorable
I loved this — it reminded me of conversations and messages between me and my own boyfriend, given that it’s long distance, and I’m hoping to have him read it again with me.
A very brief read, but helped me pass the time while waiting in line, and each one is romantic, as if it’s a love letter between a smitten couple. Some of them are spicy.

The ‘attitude’ of my review is mostly about what I think others would want to know plus a little bit of my own reactions. After all, I think if you’re reading this review prior to a possible purchase, it’s partly about wanting authentic expectations and making a decision. How may I help you with that?
What not to expect: to read text messages between two or more fictional people who, behind the texts, are beings meant to be exceptional beyond real, actual people, who spent years pondering what exciting, deeply meaningful, and original things could be textualized for eventual publishing in a book. It is not a selection from among a hundred thousand texts by hundreds of people examined by the author to find those that are the most wonderful and uniquely expressive. If you were expecting something like either of these, this is a one star book.
What you may expect: a hundred and thirty love-thoughts sent between two real people finding in each other a journey already in progress, allowing heart and other desires to form and be expressed, simply and directly, in the manner that texts have taken in their time. (Not all are G or PG-rated.)
I find this book to be a small compendium of short reminders, in it’s fashion, of what a heart can want, what a heart and life can hold. If this is akin to your expectation, may you find the book worthwhile.

I'm gonna be honest. I inflated the stars on this review because I think the author is a nice person.
Probably I shouldn't do that. If I didn't know the author, this would be a one star. Sorry, Nicole. It's not about you. It's about the book.
One of the "poems" is literally just an N'Sync lyric. "You're all I ever wanted all I ever needed"-And I want you back! Badadadum
I'm not saying she intentionally plagiarized. I'm saying these are all such bland and forgettable one-liners that of course one of them ended up being a lyric to a pop song.
It's just a bunch of text messages without any further thought put into them. It's not avant garde or some form literary Dadaism. It's just not good (this line was edited several times to be less harsh).
Again, sorry Nicole, I think you're a nice person. But I also believe in leaving honest reviews. I did pump up the stars so as not to hurt your rankings too much. I think you should put a little more thought into your next poetry collection.
I really went back and forth over whether or not to leave this review. I decided to leave it because if I wrote something really weak and someone went and read the book, I wouldn't want them to avoid reviewing out of fear of hurting my feelings. Honest reviews and feedback are important.

There’s something quite endearing, and almost intimate, about the love captured in these excerpts. Like an intruder on this beautiful tale of love, I felt my heart swell and melt all at once, hope restored that a love like this still exists. It was both simple and beautiful.

Brings forward a true connection with ones emotions and feelings
Walks one through feelings of love lost and love found. I found myself feeling more connected to my feelings about myself and with my true love.

Simply magic
There’s a simple magic to this book. I love that each chapter is so short but says so much. It’s like a story on every page.

Love story 3.0
A textual time-line of a modern day, long
distance love affair that seems simplistic on the surface but is quite moving. A quick read that stays with you.

I've never considered text messages to be love letters but now that it has been brought to my attention she is right. Same meaning just in tiny one liners sent more conveniently through the power of the technology. I know these are personal text's from Nicole and her partner but they are messages that everyone can relate to and has probably felt towards someone.

I appreciated how short but impactful each of these texts were. Some of the texts were sweet. Some of the text were bitter. Some of the texts were both. But all in all, they were personal, and that shined in its own beautiful way. Above all else, Textual Love is the perfect quick read for romantics, told with strong emotion that you can feel through every word.
