A random read, I chose this book because of the title and cover. I am so glad I did! It is a wonderful, heartfelt, thought provoking book of poetry! A truly beautiful and impactful book of self-reflection through prose.
This collection of poetry is so brutally honest and self-deprecating. Reyna lays her soul bare and in the process, her words and thoughts on the subject of love, create moments of introspective thought and self-realisation for the reader. There were some instances, that were so honest, I felt she could have been speaking my truths.
There are glimmers of genius in her words because she speaks from the heart and is unafraid to explore the essence of imperfect human relationships and our emotional responses. It is so brutal and honest. Reyna writes of her parents relationship, it’s break down and how this affected her growing up: her love choices, her own relationships, heartbreak and recovery are all detailed in this collection of prose.
