I speed through this book in 20 minutes. This set of poems holds so many reminders about self love and worth. About being your own damn “prince”.
Everything i needed right now, i want to annotate this so bad.
I truly enjoyed this poetry collection so much. It came right in a time I needed it. It taught me so much about self love and taking care of yourself. Most of the poems were so soothing to me. I absolutely love Lovelace's writing style.
I think this may be my favorite so far. The direction it went in for portraying the Cinderella fairytale by writing poems as ‘characters' was so unique. Also, I really enjoyed how much more empowering and uplifting this collection was compared to the others so far.
Listening to this on audio definitely changed the experience completely! I had tried reading this poetry collection physically when it first came out a few years ago and it just didn't vibe with me. The author narrates it and I think that it made everything flow a lot better, since she knows exactly what rhythm she wanted for it. Some of the poems hit me deep and a few just fell flat, but I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this little series on audio!
Thank you to Andrews McMeel Audio, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and NetGalley for providing me with an eBook copy to review.
