3.0I received a free arc of this book over NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I requested this arc, because I already owned To Make Monsters Out of Girls and thought I could just read them both then. I then read the first one in this "series" last month and with that already I realised these are deeply personal stories that just won't be relatable to everyone. I can't say which one of these I enjoyed more. I definitely felt more emotion in this one, so if you wanted to check out one, I suggest picking To Drink Coffee with a Ghost. This is a truly touching story about a difficult mother-daughter relationship, and how these kinds of things can affect us forever. The messages in this book weren't at all relatable to me, since I have a very good relationship with my mother, but I could get into it and understand where the author was coming from. If you like modern poetry or just enjoy Amanda Lovelace in general, I can definitely recommend checking this poetry collection out. There are quite some beautiful poems in there and the illustrations are stunning as always.
