I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

She Followed the Moon Back to Herself is a stand-alone poetry book by Amanda Lovelace and really resonated with me. The poems are heartfelt and relatable and left me feeling like Amanda had looked into my soul. This is quite an uplifting collection that makes you feel seen and also makes you reflect on life and situations. I really want a physical copy of this book so I can tab it and pick it up whenever I need to to give myself a boost or encouragement. If you like poems that make you feel seen, empowered, or make you feel like you're having a sit down with an old friend, this is definitely one you need to pick up.

I liked this poetry collection and I think it's definitely more hopeful that Lovelace's other collections. I do think it was odd that every other page was this pink page with little stars on it - made it feel like there was a minimum page count that had to be met. I did like the other art and the beginning and end though those were beautiful.

Another beautiful book of poetry from Amanda Lovelace! I loved how relatable the poems were, as well as the beautiful illustrations. The poems were short and sweet and just fun to read.

This collection of poems was so enjoyable to read. As the collection went on, you really got to see the author's personal growth and development. There were a lot of poems that I really connected to and feel many women can connect to as well. These poems are really inspiring and empowering. I found myself smiling while reading many of them. I definitely recommend this to all women, especially those who have found their authentic selves and are living the life they truly want.

I really enjoyed the poems, there were obviously some I favoured more. But overall it's a great ensemble. I loved the format- it felt like a journey. I liked the self reflective nature of the poetry. My only qualm would be the pink separator pages I found really interrupted the flow. I guess it's slightly different as I read it in a digital format and in print they may not be so distracting.

She does it again! Poetry that makes your whole body feel like sparkling wine. It hits so well and the topic is so important to write about. Accepting yourself as you are and loving yourself! The grapich portions of the book was so beautiful that I would've liked to buy them as prints.

It's been a long time since I read a book of poetry by Amanda Lovelace, but I really enjoyed this one. The poetry was hopeful, and it was a nice shift towards brighter days. I loved the pink page art and the additional art pages at the end. Not all of the poems spoke to me, but I think this is still a great collection that will speak to many.

Thanks to NetGalley, Amanda Lovelace, and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the chance to read and review. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

Truly wonderful. Relatable, vulnerable and wholesome. Beautiful little poems to make you feel like you’re not alone in this big world. Loved this

I've read all of Amanda Lovelace's work and enjoyed them but this one is by far my favorite. The style is classic Lovelace but shows a continued growth. The very first poem caught me and kept me for the rest of the volume. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to own a physical copy!

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Wow. I have loved pretty much all of the poetry books that I’ve read by Amanda Lovelace, however this has got to be my favourite.

The themes around body image and positive self-love is something that I relate to and found it very inspiring. In particular the last page (advice from future self) hit home. It is comforting to know that you are not alone with your worries and it is a journey that will eventually see itself out. The journey of self discovery, self love and confidence is pure and I’m so grateful I was given the opportunity to read this book ahead of its release.

Everything happens for a reason. New mindset = incoming.

I would start of by appreciating (and giving a virtual standing ovation) for the illustrations! The ones inside are so magical!
Coming to the poetry, I found most of them relatable, although there were some I had difficulty connecting with. The thing I liked the most about this book is how it talks about self love. It felt like the poet was talking to me and motivating me. In a way, this also gives an insight into the poet's life. Reading this was a wholesome experience. I would recommend this to all the poetry lovers.

Thank you for the free ARC!

I think I was expecting a bit more about this one. I like Amanda's writing, but there was something missing in most poems. Some were simple and good, but thinking about the whole collection I think it was missing more emotions.

I always love Amanda's raw emotional poetry. This collection has to be a new favorite of mine from her. Empowering, touching and always hitting me personally in different ways. I will ALWAYS be first in line for a new Amanda Lovelace!

This was an incredible book of poems about self discovery and self love. It was captivating from the very first page and so relatable. No matter what season of life you're in, there's a page in here for you. It was beautiful to see the transformation from unsure and insecure to confident and empowered. There is something so special about words that are so simple yet powerful that can change your perspective on what it means to truly be alive.

Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this ARC!

Amanda Lovelace's latest collection may be my favorite one yet. Her empowering words of encouragement have always been nourishing to young women, but I found this collection to be especially affective due to the serene strength of a poet firmly anchored in herself. I very much look forward to putting this in the hands of many, many readers.

I have been a fan othe this poet. This collection was lovely. It celebrates love for oneself, letting go of pain and past sorrows, and embracing the world on all its beauty. Some standout poems for me were Luna and Wholly. The words in those were so beautiful and I would love to put them on a wall in my house somewhere. So good!

i don’t know what’s been missing in amanda’s poetry lately but i miss that one ingredient that her previous books had. maybe it’s as i’ve grown older, i want more deeper poetry than basic level of what we have been given over the past few years.

i just want 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚.

This was my first time reading Lovelace, I have no idea why, but it won't be my last. What a tremendous collection. Personal, heartfelt, honest, pure, and oh so real. I want to gift this to every woman I know and some I don't know.

I received this book for free for an honest review from netgalley. Thank you for the opportunity.

I love this author. Her words are pure magic.

Self-help and a poetry, that's it. I love it. I recognized myself in a lots of poems and understood the other ones just as.
