Incredible. I swear that most times when I reread Emma's poetry, I feel like it's another one of the fiction stories I love so much. But its real. The love that Emma and Gus share is the one that stories are written about. My heart aches reading her poetry, and this book was no exception. I'm so utterly grateful that she has shared 2 poetry books with the world. These are some of my favorite poetry books and poems that I have ever read. The rawness to each piece tears at my heart.
I would love to one day read an autobiography from Emma. I definitely hope she writes more and publishes more pieces, poetry or not, I hope she is not done writing. Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for being so vulnerable to literally the whole world. Again, I have to remind myself this love between Emma and Gus is real. Not just another fictious story. I dont use the word soulmates lightly, but I certaintly believe without a doubt that they are soulmates. I wish nothing but the best to Emma. I hope we hear again from her soon.

Amazing. The only reason I gave 4, not 5 stars was because the repetitive incorrect use of your/you’re was distracting

I actually really liked this, it was very prettily written and the edition is so so beautiful (full of drawings and hand written, very special). there were several spelling mistakes 🥲 but it was a nice read and yes very beautiful and phoebe bridgers coded
