Tanya has a way of writing that inspires and empowers you. I felt moved by her words encouraging self-love and care! Her poems range from a couple of lines to full pages but each one holds a special magic. I highly recommend this book of poetry to any woman who needs encouragement and validation in their everyday lives. Her writing also reminds me of modern poets such as Nikita Gill and Amanda Lovelace, so if you are fans of their works then you will fall in love with Tanya as much as I did!

This is a collection of 107 poems to inspire, to chase dreams, to heal, and to enjoy.

Tanya Markul has written a beautiful collection of poems that is definitely a perfect fit in the market of modern poetry.

“May we raise the bar for how we live our lives. May we ridiculously increase the amount of peace, play, creativity, beauty, love and joy in everything we do. may we all sip from the wisdom of our suffering. And awaken with the courage to share our stories that can heal our inner and outer worlds.”

I enjoyed the poems, they were all thought provoking and beautifully written. However, there wasn’t much of a tie between each of the poems. I would have liked some more organization and more of a theme and we could do that as chapters. Easy and quick read to get through.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. Thanks NetGalley.

"People are the way they are because of them. People love the way they love because of them. People do things they do because of them. Not because of you."


This was a very feminist poetry collection about Love, Hurting, and Being there for yourself.

I greatly enjoyed reading this collection and you could really feel the emotions that the author put into the work. There were a lot of original pieces that did not sound redundant when compared to other poetry collections. It is very empowering to every woman out there who is looking for something to get themselves back up. A lot of pieces definitely touched me and made me want more.

My favorite part was the section about the different star signs. There was something written for each one and made the piece seem more relatable in a way.

There have been more and more feminist poetry releases and there is never going to be too much, especially when it comes to empowerment in general., no matter who you are

//Thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and Netgalley for sending me an ARC to review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I think I was expecting more from this collection of poetry. It wasn't a bad collection, but I wasn't excited to keep going back to read it.

This is a collection of 114 short poems, and has some horoscopes at the end. Poem #90 spoke to me the most! Overall, I enjoyed the poems and I would read more of Tanya's work.

Thank you NetGalley for an ARC of this in exchange for an honest review.

I gave this a four out of five stars. I really enjoyed read all of them and I liked them too. I connected to quite a bit of the poems as well. I absolutely recommend that you should pick this up and read it.

DNF, awful boring, sadly dry, no connective tissue between poems. I would not recommend this to anyone.

The She Book is a collection of 107 poems followed by 12 brief zodiac portraits. These poems have a wide range of topics but untimely you will find healing, hope and resilience. I loved the variety of stylistic types. This was a beautifully crafted collection.

Nice poetry. It has a very universal quality. I think this book would be especially appealing to young women.

This review is just my opinion & I mean no offense.
The She Book was more of a self-help book than poetry. The persona of this collection (of 114 poems + 12 poems for women born in each month of the year) seemed helpful but it it felt like she was standing in front of me telling me : " YOU ARE ENOUGH" "YOU CAN MAKE IT" just like a therapist. In my opinion The She Book would be a way better book if the persona would stand by our side like a friend while we were figuring out that we are enough by our own.
As a self- help book, it was a 4 star one.
As a poetry book, it was a 2 star one.

Another wonderful collection of 107 poems. This would make a stunning gift for anyone who's in need of a little self-love motivation. A perfect way to connect to your inner Queen. love yourself, heal yourself, be brave, and know your worth. I loved every page!

A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I truly appreciate it!

I am sad to write this but i was really disappointed after reading this book. I didn’t expect this from Andrews as well as Tanya. Tanya’s posts from instagram are much better then those included in the book. The poems do tackle various issue but i found the book a little dull in case the poems felt less poetic compared to all other books or maybe i had extremely high expectations from Tanya which made me feel so

I love the poems in this book. They speak directly to your heart. Tanya has a way of writing that resonates with all women around the globe. This will be a book that you will come back to again and again.

The She Book is a collection of 107 poems. Spanning from a few words to a full page, they are written in a way that empowers and inspires the reader. But the poems also tackle issues like emotional pain, change, and self love.

An overall good read, recommended for fans of modern poetry.
