Thank you NetGalley and Central Avenue Publishing for the chance to read and review this book.

Long story short, this book was 3.5 stars.

That being said, Alix Klingenberg has serious potential. While the second half of the book veers towards more basic, standard, common everyone wants to be a poet and writes the same, the first half was actually pretty solid with pieces I loved. A good edit would have made this a 4 star or higher read. The author had a style that came through, while being simple, and yet not sounding like everyone else, and you also felt something while reading those poems.

Can't wait to check out her next book! ( )
