All of this poetry was written very well. I felt as if I knew the author of the poetry because some of the poems made me think they had been in a domestic violence situation like myself. Poetry is one of my favorite genres and I feel like this collection could be one of my top favorites of the year!

I liked that the author gave us the playlist in the beginning. I started by setting up a Spotify playlist for this collection and listened to it while I read. It's quick to get through as would be expected. I liked the second half of the collection more than I did the first. I was torn at first with what I thought about it. It reminded me a bit of The Princess Saves Herself in This One with the formatting and style of poetry -- or at least the whole "tumblr poetry" vibe. That isn't really my cup of tea, but it resonates well enough with a lot of people. So, I think this could really find its audience. That being said, there were a few poems that I did like. Broken Violin was my favorite out of this collection. I could relate to it. And I Break gave me my favorite lines out of the whole collection:
"I lose so much respect for you
Everytime you open your mouth"

By the end, I ended up giving it one more star than I originally thought I would be going to. It grew on me. I think it could definitely find its audience!

I'm a big fan of writing inspired by music since so much of my own writing is inspired by music. However, this book started out promising and soon dragged on and became far too repetitive for my liking.

In this collection of poems inspired by music and with an accompanying playlist of songs included, we see how emotions change and adapt in each poem.



From love, freedom and dance as well as sex, friendship, loneliness and heartache an array of emotions are travelled through and the words are gripping, raw and will move you to tears with the truthfulness and weight they hold. A brave and proud collection of poetry illustrating many life tales.



Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

I fully acknowledge that this book is for teenagers, and not for me. I found it cheesy and kind of annoying, but at the same time recognize the appeal to the lonely, thoughtful teenager.
