Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. This book is absolutely beautiful and nostalgic. I resonated with a lot of the poetry because of things going on in my life currently, but it did nothing but bring me so much hope for the future and why I am still here. If you are struggling, please please read this! Victoria Hutchins has become a new favorite poetry author for me.

I absolutely cannot wait to purchase this book of poems for each and every single one of my friends. From the very first poem I instantly connected and felt each word and line. I was sent on a wave of emotions and felt like I was journeying through life with the author. Several poems hit deep, especially the ones dealing with body image and the poem Permission Slip resonated on a level I can’t describe. I have a feeling this will be a book of poetry where it’s read and re-read where the spine will become worn and broken just as my Rupi Kaur books have become. Victoria Hutchins has a gift with words and capturing what it is to be a woman and this millennial cannot wait to read more from her. This book of poems is “a reason to stick around for awhile”.
