As soon as I finished this, I wanted to read it again. I relate to Jessyca's poems so much and her words are written so well, readers quickly get pulled in.

2.5 stars**

I had a hard time finishing this book as the beginning dragged and the writing was nothing specular. A lot of this book seems unnecessary and you almost don't see the really good poems mixed in. There were several that I enjoyed but the writing was very basic and made finishing the book hard.

These poems were literally my favorites✨️

We All Just Want To Be Loved

You see it in her
How she only wears jeans
Sits and thinks before she speaks
The way she justifies her tears
And accepts less
Every time
You see how she only does this
And never that
She sees it too
But she sees it in you
____________

Young And Dumb

We can sit and shake our head
And regret our naivety
But really
What would we have to write about
If we were never
Young and dumb

There are so many amazing poems in this book and I can relate to them all. I read the whole thing in one sitting. You can just feel the pain that the author felt. To me, it's heart breaking and raw. Jessyca Thibault has a gift for putting her thoughts and feelings to paper. I can't wait for more of her work.
