Such a young author to have such a profound way with words. The way this book was written really spoke to me and I know I will be reading this book again, as well as recommending it to anyone who is going through a difficult period in their life. How else will everyone else learn that Death's favorite tea is chamomile. (why wouldn't it be?).

Trigger warnings for themes of death and suicidal ideation.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book, which will be released on October 11, 2022.

cw: suicide, suicidal ideations

This book made me cry in the middle of the night and I didn't expect it! As someone who grew up in an unstable family situation and is a former suicidal, this book unexpectedly resonated with me and I don't know if I hated it for that or I commend the author for articulating it so well. This book called me out, called my parents out, called everyone that hurt me out, and I just don't know what to feel. The writing style is so direct to the point that it feels like it is a slap or a hug, at least to me. This is the first in a long time where a poetry book made me feel so much. I highly recommended this one, but please take note of the content warning because this one is very heavy on that subject matter.
