      Spoiler alert. She doesn’t save herself...just blames everyone else for not saving her. Also, my girlfriend read this and puked. I’m trying to figure out; she hates her mother but the stars fall when mother dies; her father is useless but she hopes she made him proud?? Sounds contrived, her ‘abuse’ is probably her mom taking her phone away.

      Definitely I am not a huge fan of poetry but it was interesting and out of my confort zone.
    • 5/5
      I absolutely love how she writes, the stories and bits of life told that are good and the ones that are difficult. It just brings a sense of not being alone with good and difficult things in life. I have read this book before and I loved it just as much this time as the first and I look forward to the rest of her works. absolutely amazing.
    • 5/5
      I love this author. This book made me cry. It broke my heart. I loved it though.
    • 5/5
      So empowering!
      I recommend this to everybody who are overcoming a rough time in their life.
    • 4/5
      This book touched me in a way that is hard to explain. I felt sadness and pain, I could feel her emotion, but pushing through with her until the end was so worth it. The princess definitely saved herself in this one. It was a relief to know that.
    • 3/5
      it's modern poetry; so, if it resonates with you, you will enjoy it; if not you will feel pretty indifferent about this one
