Review

This is a book of poetry with four sections named as follows:-

Unhinged - Putting the pieces back together

Falling

Holding On

Letting Go

It's beautifully typeset with so much wonderful white space so as to let the words really hang and sink in, with different fonts also occasionally used too.

You may not be a poetry reader, but this book is also I think a kind of self help book. It contains almost mantra like staves which struck a chord with me. Whilst you may not have time to read a wordy book to find a message that speaks to you, these easily accessible poems all have a message within them. Some are a little ruthless and obviously come from a place of hurt but even these have a healing message.

One of my favourite poems is "Smile Algorithm" from the Letting Go section. Wise words, easy to read and memorable. A book I will be dipping into over and over again.

I'm giving this book five out of five stars. My thanks to Love Books Tours and Olena Rose for a copy of the book to review.
