My thoughts/ review:

*Thank you to Netgally, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read and review for an honest review*

I always loved Amanda Lovelace writing and poetry. She writes the words of how I personally feel most times. Her words are real and raw and not sugarcoated. In this collection the author speaks about mental health, self care, trying to love yourself, self acceptance, not allowing a failed relationship to ruin you or take over your life. This is a collection I can definitely see myself re reading many times. I like how the author uses slight magical realism within her poetry it makes it that more fun to read.

Lastly I know when it comes to poetry it’s very personal for every reader, simply because each reader can feel different things while reading. I always say there is no right or wrong to poetry because it’s so personal and raw from the author as the reader can intercept it differently from person to person.

I loved this and I plan to buy my own copy to support the author. Amanda Lovelace’s writing is real and her words resonate with me.

Review: The Princess Saves Herself in This One (Women Are Some Kind of Magic, #1)The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

To be honest and fair I been following the author since her tumblr days. I honestly owned a copy of this poetry book when it came and just didnt read it for a long time. I guess thinking it was …I don’t I wasn’t going to like it. I have access to the audiobook and to hear the author actually speak her words the way they should be read felt great to hear.

Amanda talks about mental illness, being alone, about her mom, relationships, rape culture, having issues with weight, ect I loved this poetry book! Her voice is so soothing she doesn’t rush the words, she want’s you into her life word by word. I will be reading all her other books.
