    I got this book in the mail today. Read the whole thing as soon as i got it and couldn’t help myself and ordered the second book! As a teen myself I can self reflect from these and use them as motivation that i’m not the only one who feels certain type of ways. I’ve learned now that poetry helps me! Thank you to the author!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Relatable, sad and funny
    Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2019

    I bought this book for my teenage granddaughter because she was going through a rough time. The book made her feel less alone and normal. She told me that many of the poems in this book were exactly how she was feeling, and it gave her hope that things will get better. She especially loved the humor despite the seriousness of the subject matter. I can’t wait to buy her the next book in the series. I want to let parents or grandparents know that some of the language may be troublesome but it is very realistic and relatable to today’s teenagers. I highly recommend this book.

    At first i was septic of this book. Thought it might portrait badly depression and other problems but i was entirely wrong. A splendid book, beautifully written and that is very poetic. Of course big warning for sensitive content as it give you the total but i was here for it and loved it.
