New York Times bestselling author, r.h. Sin, presents a revised and expanded edition of his bestseller I Hope This Reaches Her in Time .
There will come a time when the weariness of your soul will urge you to seek out a sign, some sort of indication that things will get better. Your heart will be drawn to this place, to these pages. These words were written for you, this book is your manifesto. I hope this reaches you in time.
boy i am crying, hurting, healing all at the same time. I’m a big believer that sometimes books find you when you need them and wow this one has reached me at such a precise timing in my life, it is a perfect example of that. I felt very touched and will be cherishing this book like a small piece of my heart.
"Caring for someone means handing them a knife and hoping they never cut you and this is what scares you the most because your scars are symbols of how often you’ve had to survive being with the wrong person"
"Family can be their own version of hell with a fire that burns so strong because you rarely see the chaos coming. When you’re born into a tribe, you love those individuals by default; you trust them all the same, and so when their knives are pushed into your back, your heart feels like it’s exploding from within. And the saddest part is that you become used to it after a while, so used to it that you begin to tolerate the evils in entertaining bad people for the sake of them being family. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Not all breakups are of the romantic kind, and sometimes you have to find the courage to separate yourself from people you will be bonded to forever. There is a triumph in detaching from individuals who keep you from evolving emotionally. Some of the greatest stories of victory include breaking up with members of your family that wish to see you hurt and unhappy."
This is definitely a book written for Women, and it is a book you’ll need to read at the right time. I expected the entire book to be more encouraging and entirely like the Triumph portion of the book, but the beginning was definitely something you should be ready to hear. This is definitely for someone struggling with a relationship that isn’t ideal for them. All of the pieces are beautiful and strategically placed, but it’s definitely a book that won’t be taken well if you aren’t ready to hear it, if you are looking for a sign, this is your book.
There was some powerfully emotive content in the passages, albeit with more of a hopeless bent to them. It evokes some string memories of periods when I've been in relationship failure mode. While the encouragement to be strong and independent are fine, I was hoping there would be some expression of hope in relationships. These verses are really just "the break-up" verses, not venturing into any hope for relationship success.
Not particularly well written. I’m not even sure I would call this poetry. More a collection of cliche memes. The sort of things your girlfriend would say as you went through a breakup while buying you another tub of Ben and Jerry’s. But it’s an easy read. And it’s true.
I think this book should be for every women who feels like they have lost themselves to someone who made them feel less than. It’s empowering, it’s relatable, it makes you feel like someone finally understands.
It was enjoyable, definitely took me longer to read than the rest of the poetry books. BUT I did start writing a book myself during the process of reading this book though. I really flew through it by the halfway point.
this book felt like a therapy session. mantras and motivations that every women will need at some point in their life. beautifully written poems. r.h. sin doesn’t miss with their books
