✨REVIEW✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This feminist poetry collection left me utterly speechless… I’d never read anything like it before.

Not only does it tackle the cruelest of subjects in a raw and unapologetic way, but there’s some kind of magic in these words that manage to empower and celebrate all of womanhood.

I’m aware that many readers won’t be able to look past the punctuation and formatting of this collection. I, however, felt it added to the wildness and rebellious character of the poetry.

These poems surpassed all my expectations. Lovelace’s writing is definitely worth exploring.

Please take notice of all trigger warnings before picking up one of these books!
