Author: Amanda Lovelace
Rating: 2/5
A poetry collection that’s sort of autobiographical?
Spoilers ahead.
Somewhat Detailed Summary (I mean, how do you even summarise poetry?)
There are four sections: the princess, the damsel, the queen and you. The princess is about Lovelace’s younger life. The damsel is about the “big bad wolf” and dragons who’ve antagonised her. It also discusses the death of her mother and sister. The queen is about the princess standing up to the dragon and how she deals with sadness after her mother’s death. And falling in love! You is about encouraging the reader to do their own thing.
Review: how to write poetry
just
hit
enter
as
many
times
as you
can
and screw
punctuation
no one liked
them
anyway
also
don’t capitalise
the letter i
because
it’s
mean
do
you
like
my
poem
In all fairness, this book wasn’t all that bad. There were random fragments here and there that I really liked like,
silence has always been my loudest scream
and,
sticks & stones never broke my bones, but words made me starve myself until you could see all of them
which really struck a chord with me and this,
When I had
no friends
I reached inside
my beloved
books
& sculpted some
out of
12 pt
Times new roman.
which I found relatable as hell.
I guess I was hoping for more substance rather than pretty words strung together.
Earnestly Eccentric 
Okay I didn’t read this reviews cause spoilers but aw I always wanted to read this book haha cause I follow the author on tumblr
