You will love this book! The author’s voice is an absolute joy to read as her words flow smoothly from one sentence in an essay or line in a poem to the next. She recounts stories of her life with such a vividness and clarity that it almost feels as if the readers were the ones experiencing the events alongside her. What is also wonderful is the fact that she incorporates dialogue within her essays making them read more like something one would find within a fictional story, making for an even more engaging read than the essays already are.
The author does an excellent job of including a good variety of essays and poems. From wonderful experiences to crazy experiences, the author shares many incredible, funny, and thoughtful stories. Her poems also offer rather uplifting and hopeful messages that readers can take with them no matter where they are in life and share with loved ones to lift them up, as well.
