so good, talks about the struggles of mental health in a very beautiful way. i originally bought it because the author is around my age and it was so well written

This book is painfully relatable. I enjoy reading poems that evoke deep emotions. The way Freya names each poem with a particular quote allows you to go back and understand EXACTLY what she was talking about in the poem if you happened to be unsure. The poems mention self-harm and mental health struggles so read at your own risk. If these are sensitive topics to you then I would not recommend reading it, but if reading about these topics comfort you then I would recommend it.

Loved this one!! Ede does a great job at showing readers how human interaction (especially love) can change us in the form of poetry, which I feel like is difficult for many to do as well as it was done here. I also loved the parts where the book talks about overthinking and anxiety because, again, I feel like I haven’t read too many pieces of poetry that talk about those topics as well as Ede did. Overall very beautiful work 🤍
