A review by lennofspades
Please Pick Me by Reina Regina
4.0
I was given an e-ARC of this book by Reina Regina in exchange for an honest review.
"...if a reader lives a thousand lives, then the thousand heroines in me would gladly belong in a thousand happily-ever-afters with the thousand heroes in you."
- It Is Written, Reina Regina
First of all, I would like to thank Reina for entrusting me an ARC of her first ever book. I was so thrilled when she told me and I have nothing but love and support for thing beautiful girl inside-out. I truly hope nothing but the best for her and her work.
I have fallen in love with this book in so many ways! I know that I will love from the start, but I never thought that I could relate to almost all of the poems as much as I did. I loved how it points out that self-love is important and that nothing in the world can stop you once you've found that love for yourself.
To be honest, the part that was 100% relatable to me was the Roots section of the book. It hit me so hard in a really good way; made me realize that I am still my own person no matter my roots, no matter what they expect and who they want me to be. I am my own person, and I should be the one to decide my future. I am my own person, and I need to stop letting these people hold me down.
"She's art and science, faith and magic,
all wrapped up in one.
And you may see one side of her at a time,
you may insist she stay on one path at a time;
but she is all of those things,
always, inseparably.
ANd what path she takes
is not up to you."
- The Scholar, The Witch, and the Writer, Reina Regina
