I don't read a lot of poetry. I can't tell you if this is "good" poetry or not but I can tell you that Katies words hit me like a ton of bricks. I didn't expect to connect with this book as much as I did. This book is something that I would have loved to have when I was 15 years old, it was all the words I needed to hear back then and I am so glad I got to read them now. I loved it.
