"i gave this a shot because i love sabrina benaim's "explaining my depression to my mother" in slam form, but i found the collection overall disappointing. most of the short poems in here truly feel like instagram poetry."

"Beautifully written. Eloquent, but soft spoken. I felt like I traveled with this person through their phase of life after a break-up and it reminded me of all the times I had been in similar shoes. When I feel lonely, this book makes me feel like I have a friend that understands."
