Very reflective poetry - would be most relatable to heart break, young love, and character growth.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is a great poetry collection for someone who wants to start reading poetry.

Nothing is too complex or overly complicated (that’s not bad, it makes it easier for people to comprehend when reading poetry). The poems are story-like and melodic, some have hints of rhyme which isn’t personally my preference but didn’t turn me away.

There were some really great lines and stanzas. I felt like the poems are the beginning were much stronger than the ones near the end. A great first poetry collection!

*Someone Somewhere Maybe* is a poignant and beautifully written story about love, loss, and the connections that shape us. Heartfelt and unforgettable.

This is a debut poetry collection. I am not familiar with Sophie but I did enjoy her poetry. I would read more in the future. I do plan on picking up a physical copy in the future to reread.

Super quick read that was completely relatable. It brought back memories of my first love and break up. This book makes you realize how complex relationships are and that we grow from each one. No matter what age having to walk away from any relationship is tough and never easy.

The overall message is that we need to be kind to ourselves and that its okay to feel what we feel when we feel it. We will find the one that feels like home.

Loved it! What a wonderful collection of poetry. I will buy the physical copy of this book, some of these poems I want hanging up as artwork in my house!.

I’m a big poetry fan but I’m very picky. I didn’t have time to read the whole thing but the poems I read were pretty solid. I was originally drawn to the title and cover art as I hadn’t heard of this writer before.

Not for me! A lot of the poems just didn't stick to me unfortunately. The premise and cover were cute but the execution wasn't what I was looking for.

Everything is so quotable! I don’t really have words but I wasn’t sure what to expect going in and I ended up being pleasantly surprised

What a good anthology of poems! I loved some of the themes at play here. Some really spoke to me and made me feel all the feels. Beautiful writing!

I love that this book of poems explores a variety of ages ranging from middle school to adulthood - everyone can relate to some point. I have not interacted with Sophie online but I think this was a successful step in print.

Thank you to NetGalley and st martins press for the ARC - Someone Somewhere Maybe is out now!

Sophie is a beautiful writer who I’ve been following for a couple years now. Every time she posts a new video I am enraptured for the entire experience, so I had to buy her book as soon as it was released. Best decision ever. I’ve read through all the poems and I enjoyed every minute of it.

I didn't expect to enjoy this one as much as I did. I had a feeling I would enjoy it, just not as strongly. It caught me off guard.

I am in a major reading slump right now, so it is no fault of this book, but it was just not vibing with me. I was just looking for the thing to get me hooked again and unfortunately this wasn't it. Again, that is not to say this was not a good book, I was just not in the mood for it.

i enjoyed this poetry collection! while it wasn't deeply impactful, it had some nice lines and a couple of poems that did really hit me. in the introduction, the author mentions that she has also written songs, and many of these poems felt like snippets from songs, which i both enjoyed and found to be somewhat of a drawback from the emotional content of the work.

This was such a sweet poetry book. Definitely took me back to some moments in my life. I'm gonna be getting a finished copy so I can annotate it.

I like to think that I enjoy poetry but I usually feel like it is out of my reach and I do not fully understand it. That was not the case with this collection. I really felt an emotional connection to this collection and I will be purchasing a physical copy.

This book of poetry brought me back to high school and college and the angst of losing your first love. The poems conveyed the hurt and loss felt so acutely.

ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

I thoroughly enjoyed this short book of poetry! It brought me back to my youth and first love, along with the heartbreak that followed. I love that the author rhymes some of her poems and how they’re incredibly relatable to the majority of people. I would say it’s a solid 4.5 stars! If you like coming of age poetry, you’ll enjoy this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for allowing me to read this arc. I was intrigued by the title, cover and have enjoyed many works of similiar focus but I have mixed feelings on this one. It took me ages to finish it because some of it read like someone's teenage diary but there were other poems that hit me in my core and found me when I needed them months later. This isn't an earth shattering work but if you enjoy self help, introspective, inspirational poetry and aren't looking for anything too challenging it could be the right read for you.

This was a beautiful poetry collection, providing vivid imagery and a window into the sole of unrequited love. The poems progress into a narrative that depicts the depths of love, loneliness, and pain. The poetry varried in style, length, rhythm, and complexity, providing a new experience on each page. I appreciate the author sharing her work wtih us.
