The Truth of You: Poetry About Love, Life, Joy, and Sadness

i received an ARC in exchange of an honest review, all the opinions are mine.

***
for me this was definitely the perfect case of the right book at the right time. i feel like it was exactly what i needed to read now and the writing was so beautiful. i enjoyed the small illustrations too and they were a perfect addition.
i have read a lot of poetry books lately and this collection is one of the very best. the style isn't for everyone but the poems had depth and most of them, if not all of them, hit just the right spots for me.
the book deals with different subjects, from loss to falling in love and finding yourself in a realistic but, at the same time, positive and encouraging, way.
i read it all in one night because i loved it so much that i couldn't go to sleep before finishing it and i wish there was more. i'm looking forward to reading more of the author's works in the future.
