Read for my degree, would highly recommend. Very challenging so maybe read alongside a synopsis to get a full understanding (I used litchart for help)

I really liked some of the longer works in here, but wasn’t a fan of the amount of single sentences that counted as full poems. The more thought out ideas were beautiful though, and I’d really like to read more of the author’s work :)

This was bought as an impulse purchase after losing connection with someone I loved, and the feelings written in here felt real and relatable.

This was so good and I am excited to read the sequel in the future! I’d recommend this to anyone of any age, and also the animated film which is where I originally learned of this story!
