"and I think telling people their worth is immeasurable is one hell of a way to feel alive" Actual rating: 4,5 stars Content warnings - negative body image, esp. weight/shape (in "all the broken mirrors" and "the struggle to be") - blood (mentioned in "no make up? you look tired") - slightly sexual content (in "asexual") - hints of emotional abuse (in "conversations with my parents" and "what you broke") My opinion A lovely poetry collection. Shelby Lafreniere put those words together so beautifully in a very personal, touching way I enjoyed a lot while reading the poems. Two or three of them seemed kind of empty to me (aka I couldn't make much of them, which doesn't mean they're bad, they just weren't for me), but most were the opposite – meaningful, deep, emotional. Words that will stay with me for a long time probably. Bonus points for diversity. Poems about diverse bodies and body image, poems mentioning different sexualities and genders, written by a marginalized author. What's not to adore? I only wish the content warnings would've been more explicit, there is some triggering stuff in there (which did not affect me luckily, but I would have liked to be warned about it). See content warnings above my review.
