I really enjoyed Lost Girls Go Everywhere.
It is split into two part. Part one is poems and part two is short stories.
I personally loved part one more.
I had so many favourites from this collection of poetry and really connected with them.
If you like poetry, check this one out. A quick and easy read.
Bad habit...
“I’m like a smoker
In need of a cigarette
I need you, even if
I know you’re detrimental
To my health.
But the rush you give me
Is worth more
Than saving myself.”

Thank you to Victory Editing and NetGalley for the Reader's Copy!
Now available.
By turns heartbroken melodies and self sufficiency mantras, Azzurra Nox's Lost Girls Go Everywhere is an attempt to find a balance in a cold modern world. Written in simple stanzas with plenty of emotion, this an interesting new collection for those who are seeking self-assurance from a break-up. I wish there was more to say but there is not a lot of depth to the poems.

“Dedicated to all the lost girls. You will find your path between heartbreak and hopes that fuel your dreams. Never give up." It feels almost wrong to rate poetry knowing that is something so deeply personal to the individual. I could relate to many of the themes addressed in Nox's poetry collection–from loneliness, feeling lost, longing, nostalgia, and more. That said, I unfortunately, didn't love it as much as I was hoping to. There is nothing particularly wrong with the writing itself, but it simply did not resonate with me as deeply as I would have liked. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was problematic and oh so painful to read. I got just under 50% of the way through and I just couldn't keep wasting my time. This read like high school poetry that was full of angst and no substance. The cover is absolutely gorgeous; I'd recommend to look at it and move along.

This was a deeply resonating book of poetry and prose. Nox's words conveyed to me, feelings which are so relatable that I couldn't help but be overwhelmed at the thought someone else felt the same way as I did. And it made it so much easier... I really liked it. The themes were varied and ranged from the emotions of feeling lost amidst a crowd, being lonely, as well as nostalgia that so often reels us and the longing that dethrones us. Amazing! Pick it up!

This book is a poetry and prose collection regarding some of the most pivotal moments in the authors life.
Unfortunately, don't have nice things to say about it. Even though the book shows us deep thoughts of the author, it is not at all original.
We encounter same GirlPower quotes that were cool when they were originally published that are now losing their charm; the same metaphors about love and soulmates that I've seen in countless poetry collections.
I would say even some of the poems would be better in prose. Its structure would give them more chance to develop.
Lastly, the whole book came of as very unpolished and unfinished, which can make make the art timeless, but not in this case.
There are some good quotes and poems, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Lost Girls Go Everywhere is spilt into two parts - poetry and prose. When I read the first poem, I thought this book would be powerful and relatable. However, although relatable, I didn’t feel that powerful punch that I expected.
The poems themselves seemed plain and rushed, which is such a shame because you can tell that the author has writing talent. However, I still enjoyed the poems, and they covered some important topics that need more awareness.
As for the prose, I liked them more than the poetry. They covered mostly romance, which isn’t normally my cup of tea, but they were beautifully written, engaging and thought provoking. Stunning imagery weaved into a short narrative story. Overall, I had mixed feelings about this book but I’d still recommend you give it a read.

I always find poetry books difficult to rate. Part one had me. I highlighted so many passages and loved so many poems. Part two lost me the prose and writing style just didn't click for me.
Poetry is so personal in terms of taste and I definitely recommend giving this ago it is unique and captivating.

CW: Depression, suicide, death, drug use, slut shaming, reference to sexual assault
This book of poetry and prose may be someone's cup of tea, but it wasn't mine. This book is a generous 2 stars for me, simply because I know that there are probably people out there who would enjoy this. But, I found all of the poetry to be incredibly cliché and something out of a 13 year old's unedited poetry diary. It's hard to write. a negative review when clearly the subject matter is personal to the author, but so much of the writing made me cringe.
