I don’t remember the last time I read a book of poetry but this was phenomenal. It was not a traditional hea, but it felt so necessary in this case. Please read the author’s note, it really put things in perspective and was a great follow up to this book.
I could hardly put this book down. I stayed up super late finishing it because I just couldn’t put it down.

This book just went from really chill and poetic and emotionally devastating to extreme panicking and distress. Not a fan. Also, I've been bamboozled because (redacted because this was a spoiler). MY BROTHER IN CHRIST IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE. Oh my god. Heart breaking. Disastrous to my emotional wellbeing. It was done so so beautifully. The emotions in the writing were apparent, and the main character was drowning in them. The ending wrecked me, but it was very much so necessary. The final chapter, with the point of view shift, helped to humanize the love interest in a crushing way. I am unwell. This book was incredibly well done. I loved the time jumping for their relationship history, the truths, the lies, and the present day. Would highly recommend. Just don't recommend it to a friend who you're secretly in love with
