Amanda Lovelace’s works will always hit for me and this was no exception. I think it’s that Amanda has deep and important messages, but the fairytale and whimsicalness intertwined gives a sense of lightness and hope to even the darkest of themes. I feel like I could trust her with my innermost feelings because she’s trusted us with hers. Although I don’t know that anything’s gotten to the level of their very first *for me,* I loved the self discovery and building up of others that were reiterated throughout this collection. The aesthetic of this one was also great for me; I loved the lunar themes of the illustrations.

It’s always a bit difficult to review poetry collections, as there are some poems that really hit home and others that are just meh.
Overall, I always enjoy Amanda Lovelace’s poems and this one is no exception. I forever love the imagery and emotion put into each poem and I just enjoy this style of poetry.
Highly recommend, especially if you have enjoyed their other works.

There were poems in there that really hit home with me. I love her style so much. I already have this book pre-ordered for the library I work at. I can't wait to share it with library patrons.
