*I received an e-ARC copy from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review*

Soft Thorns was an incredible surprise to me. I was waiting for a different kind of poetry book. I really wanted to read this book for a long time since it appeared in my book recommendations on Amazon because I bought some other poetry books.

I loved it in the very first poem. It’s my kind of poetry. The words, the feelings and all the things that the author writes touched me somehow. Some poems reminded me about myself. The same girl that felt in high intensity loves and heartbreak.

Soft Thorns tells us a story. The poems were arranged in a logical way that let the reader being involved by many controversial topics like eating disorders, abuse, depressions and more.

Brigite Devoue follows the same path of other new poetry authors like Rupi Kaur and Amanda Lovelace. We can notice some similarities with their works. But Devoue has her writing to tell her story.

“We’re only haunted by the things
We refuse to accept”

I really enjoyed reading this book and recommend for everyone that enjoys modern poetry. ( )
