Imagine this: you meet someone, an incredible someone, and from the moment they step foot into your life, you know from that very moment that you never want to be without them. They help you grow as a person. They inspire you. They change the ideas you have in your head about what love is and what it could be. Now imagine losing them. This is that story.
This is the first poetry book I am picking up by Faraway. I've seen some beautiful quotes on pinterest by this author so I decided to dive into Faraway’s works.
This work is a short collection of modern poetry. The themes are falling in love, loosing the person you love and overcoming the grief and pain that comes with it.
It's a solid read, but nothing exceptional. I'll definitely remember some lines and poems and I know for sure I'll come back to this at some point, rereading some parts.
Personally I think I’d be more affected by it if I actually went through heartbreak. But I've already read a couple of great poetry works that affected me deeply although I didn't experience these things firsthand.
Faraway chooses their words with caution and knows how to write lovely, relatable poems. For sure I am going to read their other works in the near future.
PS: The cover and the title of this book are stunning and really fitting.
An ode to the heartbroken and to those picking up the pieces still. A quick and lovely read. But, a few typos here and there... and overall, quite unmemorable tbh.
