I really enjoyed this. I don't read much poetry and often find it to be intimidating, but I found this collection to be very approachable. I appreciated that the book was organized, and I found myself relating to a lot of what Ms. Rosenberg discussed. Additionally, even though I am not a mother myself, I appreciated the poems she included about the difficult and wonderful parts of this phase of life. Overall, I found the collection to be a quick and enjoyable read.

Hannah Rosenburg has a way of reaching into the depths of my soul and showing me what’s there. These poems feel like being seen.

I have already long shared her poetry with my loves, and I already know I will be buying multiple copies of Same and sharing this collection of poems with people in my orbit— then getting matching Same tattoos with the women in my life.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this ARC.

This book touched my soul in a way that no book has in a long time. I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars - I loved this book. Hannah Rosenberg reflects on girlhood, motherhood, friendship, and our bodies in a way that no one has before her. The nostalgia I felt when reading this book for my own childhood, for my female friends, and mostly for being a young mother was powerful! So many of her poems touched a chord within me that I had to share some of them with the women in my life - women who said, "Who is this author? She speaks to me." Women who immediately pre-ordered the book! Like Hannah, "my life is filled with the souls of women I love". Thank you, Hannah, for putting so much of my emotion into beautiful words! Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this e-arc in exchange for an honest review!

This was a great collection and covered so many relatable aspects of life. It was personal and specific, but also universal. I will go back to this collection over and over again.

Absolutely gorgeous collection of poems from a poet I have admired for awhile. I'm thrilled to announce Hannah will be on Dear Nina later this fall.

Great poetry collection! I really liked the way the book was divided into different relationships and kinds of love. Formatting was a little weird in an e-book format but I’m sure it’s beautiful in a published paper volume

I enjoyed this book of poetry! There are a couple poems that stand out as special- "Same" and "How We Met" are my personal favorites. Much of the book felt less like poems and more like general musings on womanhood, motherhood, and friendship.

I love this book so much. I don’t read much poetry but this just hits the spot. It’s a pick me up when I’m struggling, it’s validation and feels like connection. It’s easy to pick up and I’m already rereading it. I’m bookmarking favorites but rereading I’m finding new favorites that hit differently this time. Thank you for this advance copy.

3.5 stars!

Thank you St. Martin’s Griffin for providing this book for review via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I don’t regularly read poetry so I wouldn’t consider myself the best suited to review a poetry collection, but I wanted to give something new a try. I did enjoy many poems in Hannah Rosenberg’s “Same”. I appreciated the grouping by ‘audience’ or topic, and most enjoyed the “For our younger selves” and “For our friends” poems. As someone who’s not a mother yet, I (understandably) related to those more.

I’m not sure if most poetry is like this, but this also felt almost like a memoir as I learned so many of the author’s specific experiences. That alone makes this hard to rate because they’re simply sharing their thoughts and life events. So I’m glad that Hannah was courageous enough to do so considering how scary sharing personal aspects of your life with the world can be.

I’m glad I picked this up and can’t wait to give more poetry collections a try!

I've been following Hannah Rosenberg on Instagram for a few years now, and I just love her perspective on the world, life, motherhood, family, and friendship. I loved this book of poems and marked many that I plan to return to when I am in need of reflection and a path forward. At a time when humanity feels lost and our society has become depthless, I always fall back on poetry. Sometimes the simplest words can evoke the biggest feelings.

Thank you to the publisher for providing me with an advance copy.

I've been a follower of Hannah's on Instagram for quite some time. She is one of those writers that writes in such a way you feel as though she's stepped into your head and pulled the words from within you. I was excited for the opportunity to receive an eARC of her collection from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

So many of the pieces had the same elements I loved from reading her work online. They are honest, emotional, and relatable. Where this didn't resonate with me is in a life stage she is within that I am not, and that is being a mother. I have so much appreciation for the ways that changes a person, and for the desire to write from that space. Those poems, while beautiful, simply didn't resonate with me and I would have liked the collection to have felt a bit more balanced. That said, for another person in another phase of life, they will find her writing to be a balm.

I loved this book of poems! It was relatable and I felt that the emotion that came through in her poems was felt. I feel like it would be good for a woman who is a new mother, a lot of poems were centered around that theme, I just am not a mother. But will be recommending to my mom friends!

An emotional punch to the gut that I inhaled! Poetry is difficult to rate, but this one is without a doubt, 5 stars. I loved the pace, simplicity, and how provocative the poems were. While I did "inhale" it, it actually took me several weeks to get through because I kept going back and re-reading sections before wanting to move on. Loved it and will absolutely get a physical copy when it's published!

I had high hopes for this poetry volume, but it wasn't to be. Hannah Rosenberg achieved notoriety on Instagram, and sadly her poems read like an AI mashup of women's inspo posts or like a string of quotes tied together. The collection as a whole felt one-note, superficial, and trite. Every poem seemed to live up to the title, as they were all the "Same." Nothing stood out as unique or deep.

I love that she might be introducing a new audience to poetry or that those familiar with her online might pick up other volumes of poetry after reading hers. I really needed for her to stretch more in this volume, and if she publishes another, I hope she experiments with different tones and does some real personal reflection. One reviewer compared this collection to a poetic version of Colleen Hoover, and I agree.

Thank you, NetGalley, for this advanced review copy.

I appreciated the poet’s reflections on girlhood, womanhood, personhood, and motherhood; however, I just did not get “hooked” on these poems. That is not to say that I did not enjoy the read, though. I just wish that I felt like these poems were going to stick with me. Overall, I liked this as I read it, but I wish I loved it. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

This is my favorite book of poetry. Gets to the very heart and core of motherhood but also being a wife and a friend. I bookmarked so many poems, it was practically the entire book. I will be purchasing 2 on release day and marking up a copy to give to my best friend.

packed full of absolutely stunning poetry. I'll definitely be purchasing a physical copy for my personal library to make notes in

Rosengberg’s anthology of poems are separated into sections and seasons of life. I love how we are taken through these seasons along side her and feel her experiences even if they do not relate to our own.

Rosengberg’s voice is a beautiful addition to the poetic world and I am so thankful to have been able to read this book.

3.5 ⭐️

I love a poetry anthology. Poetry is personal and artistic and I love when poems make me feel all the things. This particular anthology was organized in a way that took you through the different aspects of life, and I liked that.

I found a lot of the poems to feel a bit disjointed and repetitive, but these are someone's feelings and experiences so as long as they're real to the author that is all that matters. The anthology travels through childhood, womanhood, friendship and the transformative journey of motherhood. I feel that any person can find at least some pieces relatable to them, but they are deeply rooted in being a mother so that will stop a great deal of enjoyment for people who cannot relate to that.

I am hoping that my copy had a formatting glitch, but the poems were formatted atrociously. A lot of poems had 1/2 a word on a line and it was hard to read let alone follow.

Overall, it was a beautiful anthology that had some pieces that will stay with me in the long run.

My favorite pieces:
-In the middle of the night I wake up coughing
-A fight with my husband at the museum
-And then some more
-We got nothing done and the weekend was perfect
-At a restaurant in the future

I loved the way the sections were divided intoI loved the way the sections were divided into relationships. It was a simple and heartfelt; almost a memoir in poems relationships. It was a simple and heartfelt; almost a memoir in poems .
