Oh. My. Goodness.
This little book of what the author calls ‘snippets’ is a collection of thoughts, reminiscing and an outpouring of the heart and soul. A cathartic experience.
It’s a straight from the heart, knife to the gut, heart wrenching, encouraging and empowering tale of girl’s struggle to deal with what life throws at her. Although full of teenage angst, there’s an emergence of a mature-beyond-her-years young woman who refuses to give up and slowly comes to the realization that she has the right to feel worthy of everything and anything. She is a survivor.
As this is a gathering of thoughts scribbled down during times of heightened emotions there are plenty of typos, misspellings and editing issues which the writer hasn’t corrected. Well done! Any serious editing of this would have completely ruined the rawness and impact of the words and would probably have made it seem just a little too needy. I absolutely loved reading this little collection even though it brought me to tears a few times. I think it was a very brave thing to publish such personal accounts of a turbulent time in the writer’s life and I applaud her for her courage. I hope there will be more coming out from this talented young woman and I would highly recommend this book to anyone who can stand a bit of a reality check

Wow!
As I was reading this book, the format really surprised me. This book is unique, raw, and just fantastic. You get to see the real thoughts and emotions of the author throughout her young adulthood. It takes a lot of courage to write about your actual life, and the author does a wonderful job at being open and honest about what she’s going through. As someone who is suffering through depression myself, it gives me hope that one day, my own wounds will heal.

The Inner Corner by Brittany Renée was a book that I was not expecting. It's presented as a collection of thoughts throughout several years of a woman's life. You glean understanding of situations based upon these snippets that create a cohesive timeline wherein you come to learn her struggles.
Heartbreak at best is hard to convey, even when we've been through it, more so when the heartbreak is with someone who wasn't the best for us. This book captures the mental struggle, while showing the physical struggle at the same time, in a captivating, thoughtful way.
If you're looking for a short, impactful read, I suggest "The Inner Corner."

I didn't realize how much I'd like this short journal-like book. I usually don't like these kinds of books but... wow. This hit me hard and deep. I felt so much, but it still had a lot of mystery since the author never mentioned names and was vague in certain areas, but I loved that. I was able to follow along and feel what the author felt when she went through her trying times in her life. The purpose of her telling her story is so that we know we aren't alone in our struggles and her book really conveys that. Definitely recommend this book.

When I read this book, each of the snippets were like a reminder of what it's like to be a teenager. Brittany Renee is a poet with her writing. She puts down on paper what she feels; the good, the bad, and the very ugly. I can't wait to read more of her work.
