Afterglow Effect by Alecia Gabrielle

5.0

You know that feeling when you are reading a book that gets you totally sucked into the pages and you want to slow down for it to last longer but also you need to keep reading? That’s how I felt with this.

It has blown my mind how gracefully pain has been written. “Shapes” is my favorite. Each word keeps echoing in my soul now, especially those last lines. I’ll keep carrying them with me. Swipe to read.

Did you experience a series of traumas in a non functional family? Then, I think this is definitely for you the same way it’s been for me. The pages of this collection opened up some scars but it didn’t hurt, the poetry, the choice of words has been healing at the same time. It’s not the only topic, Alecia Gabrielle words cover much more, but it’s what came through the most for me.

I could recommend you this book in so many different ways but I’ll just say: get it, read it, and read it again.

P.s.: Alecia Gabrielle, yes, you are a hell of woman.
