This is a quick read that allows you to be “in your feelings”, then like a good friend, very gently tapping into your self worth. It provides perspective to encourage you that you’re enough.

I actually loved most of the poems in this book. Some of them didn't work for me!

I’ve never been one to read a book of poetry, but this one was intriguing.
With sharp truths, direct reminders, and unapologetic affirmations, this book is perfect for those who have loved and lost. There are lies we tell ourselves after breaks ups that are meant to give us solace and yet only chain us to our emotions. Or, excuses we make for our partners as we try to love the broken people they are. Regardless, it never hurts to have a reminder that it’s ok to walk away; it’s ok to say enough; it’s ok to put ourselves first. But most importantly, it’s ok to love deeply and adventurously.

I came to this book blindly and found it a bit repetitive in comparison with his previous works .
It was ok to be perfectly honest
Not as good as his previous poetry The HIM !
It's mostly talking about the love 💘 and you can read it in one sitting
Not the best poetry but worth reading once.
It could have been longer

i loved this book so much. there are such amazing reminders and honestly, words i wish i could say. i love how empowering it is on regaining a sense of self after the death of a relationship and the harsh reality that even its funeral must go on, despite how much life a love story might’ve had and how hard it is to let go.

I would not have read this book if my coworker hadn't loaned it to me.
I've actually read HER, by the same author. To be frank, I just didn't particularly care for either book. I'm sure that someone will find hope and comfort in this book, but that person just isn't me.
I give it a meh/10.

Beautifully written and empowering.

I really liked this one. I wish it was longer. But the messages were very reaffirming from coming out of a toxic relationship.

This had a lot of poignant poems for me. I would highly recommend if you are someone going through a break up / heartbreak 💔

I just couldn’t read anymore…I stopped on page 20 of 72. The clichés were overwhelming. The lack of creativity bored me. I’m a fan of free verse, but only if it’s imaginative. There may be a couple of decent little gems throughout, but not enough for me to continue torturing myself with a “diary” about being in a relationship with a narcissist. I’ve been there…honestly. I could have written this book myself. I just found very little of this to be poetic or lyrical or metaphorical. This was a DNF for me.

Are these the greatest works of poetry to ever be published? Maybe not (they could be. I’m no critic). Did it feel like finally someone understood what is happening in my life right now and may have also somehow read my journal and put my thoughts into a book? Absolutely. I loved this. It was comforting to know I’m not alone. It was also nice to have the little reminders of what I am worth and what I deserve tucked away throughout.

My friend gave me this poetry book since she knows I write and love poetry. I liked a few lines of the book and the overall message was powerful but I thought the execution of each poem was not personally my favorite. The metaphors felt cliché and I lacked a lot of imagery while reading it. I wish there were more stories written into each poem as opposed to a message to the reader about a toxic relationship.

He does it again! Let me preface that I love HER and HER Vol. 2. What I love about this one is it allows you to be in your feelings without judgment. We all have been involved with people who were bad for us. What I love about this short little wonder is that we may never find the answer as to why he/she wasn’t right, but that’s okay. This small treasure is filled with huge takeaways.

Such a beautiful, healing book. I feel so heard and validated through Jeanty’s thoughtful poems. I took my time reading and wanted to underline and take photos of almost every single poem to keep them in my heart and mind. I have already bought 3 more of Jeanty’s books of poems and am so excited to savor the next one ❤️

I just went through an awful break up with the person I started a family with and who I thought was always going to be my best friend and partner for life. The poems in this book have helped me come to terms with all the heartbreak. They have made me feel validated and understood. If you or anyone you know know are dealing with a difficult and painful break up I recommend this book!!

This was amazing. So many poems in this book spoke to my heart. Between the poems of love moving on, to heart break, to loving again, and self love... These poems are the most seen I've felt since my marriage ended last year. I wish I'd had this book then.

This book really hit home as to how it feels being in a relationship that I need to get out of. Beautiful writing that is very relatable. Looking forward to reading the sequel “Sparking her own flame”.

This is the perfect book to read after a breakup! Its goal is to remind you of who you are & what you deserve. This one is for all the girls who wasted their time on a love that wasn't watering them. I wish I had read it sooner!

The perfect mix of tough love truths + support/affirmations of the future to come = inspirational and healing your feels in the wake of a breakup - reading Sparking Her Own Flame next!

Beautifully written words. It hit me right in my heart. I only wish it was longer. A quick but good read.

All the poems were just so relatable I couldn’t believe other people feel this way, made me feel less alone. They were words I needed to hear for the closure I’ll never receive.

As per usual, I have been personally victimized by Jeanty's truth.

Quick read but beautiful powerful poetry. Had to go back through and highlight my favorites to read again later.

This is a very quick read and I think it will be helpful for those coming out of a toxic relationship. You should check it out, especially if you're struggling and need something to relate to.

I picked it up on a bad day. And it just seemed to have the right words.
January 7, 2021
This is a must read for anyone suffering through a break up. I cried all the way through, cleansing tears of healing. Would be a great gift for a friend.

Another amazing set of poems by Pierre! Loved this book!
