Still loved it the second time around.I have no words. This was unbelievable. I'll write a proper review once my heart settles down.

I did notintend to read this book butsomehowI did and I fell in loveSo. . . I’m not usually into poetry. Yes, I’ve always found it quite intriguing and fantastical how a few short rightly placed words could hold such powerful and deep message. How a few short rightly placed words can create a world and a galaxy and a universe of unlimited possibilities. How a few short rightly placed words can evoke emotions of sadness, love, anger, or happiness. But I decided to give this book of poetry and try...

Okay. Yeah. That was....well, not my favorite ever thing. I feel like I just read my middle school AIM away messages or 200 pages of emo Myspace updates. I need to go listen to some Dashboard Confessional STAT.I love the idea. I love the sentiments and the lessons, and CERTAINLY the feminist ideas at work here. If I saw any of the platitudes expressed in the "you" section on Tumblr, I'd happily reblog them. I definitely appreciate the raw emotions that very clearly went into the writing of them,...

I want to review this honestly and go into the details about why I do not like this book of poetry. Every time I do though, I get attacked by random people who seem to have a fascination in seeing me die in random, and unimaginative, ways. Therefore, under duress: This book of poetry changed me. It is utterly 'brilliant' and 'should' be read by everyone. The way the author puts this piece of 'amazing' literature together is done 'incredibly' well. I 'love' how the poems flow and are in no way st...

This Got Annoying

Sorry, but these poems were just not my cup of tea at all. I appreciate that the author has been through A LOT and I am proud of her for being brave enough to share her words. But unfortunately I couldn’t connect to her writing, I didn’t feel any kind of emotions from reading. I’m sure there are loads of young teens who will relate to these poems, but for me; I’m past the age where writing like this would affect me.

Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || Pinteresti didn't realizethat poetry could be achievedby hitting the enter key &then breaking up a sentencewithaspacewho knew that all this timemy english teachers were wrong?- go to hell, robert frost--- So this is going to be a tricky review to write, because opinions have really diverged on this book. Looking through the reviews of THE PRINCESS SAVES HERSELF IN THIS ONE, you immediately see that some people adored this book and others found it

I'm sorry (I'm actually not sorry) BUT THIS ISN'T POETRY.WTF is this?ah, life—the thing that happensto us while we're offsomewhere elseblowing ondandelions& wishingourselves intothe pages ofour favoritefairy tales.THIS IS A FUCKING RIP OFF OF A JOHN LENNON QUOTE. I shit you the fuck not.“Life is what happens to you, while you're busy making other plans.”These are tumblr quotes. This book should never have been published, OR, if it was going to be published, should have been a photo album like Ki...

This was such an empowering collection of poems. It was brutal, honest and deeply personal.

"when i hadno friendsi reached insidemy belovedbooks& sculpted someout of12 pttimes new roman-& it was almost good enough"I've been eyeing this book for quite a while now. I saw it on GR and Instagram and tumblr - so often, that I finally made the decision to buy it. I should give myself a high five for that. It only took one single page (the dedication) for me, an undying Potterhead, to fall in love with this beautiful collection of poems. So raw, so hurting, so emotional and empowering, that's...

hittingenterafterevery worddoes not makeit poetry.Or maybe it does these days. Between the highly praised Lang Leav and this latest Goodreads Choice finalist, I guess these emo tumblr quotes are the modern version of poetry. Call me old school, but I kind of expect something more. Some of these sentences are nice, sure, and some of them tickle the inner emo that lives inside us all, the one that occasionally makes us stay up late sobbing over Elliott Smith songs (oh wait, that's just me?) but co...

The Princess Saves Herself in This One was a fairly emotional read for me. This poetry collection is divided into four different parts: the princess, the damsel, the queen, & you. And there were a lot of parts that really hit home (especially the princess), so much so that I had to put the collection down for a minute and think.The Princess Saves Herself in This One explores life & all of its love, loss, grief, healing, empowerment, & inspirations. And I loved and felt everything deeply.Here are...

“the paindid notmake mea better person.it did notteach me not totake anythingfor granted.it did notteach me anythingexcept howto be afraidto love anyone.”WOW. TW: Abuse, self harm, eating disorders, suicideI was expecting I would never read this, and if I did, I really wouldn’t like it. In my head, it fell under the same category as Milk and Honey, which I really, really did not enjoy because to me it lacked a lot of depth, creative writing, and—well, poeticness. I started this hesitantly, but I...

A Rupi Kaur-esque "poetry" collection with a good theme but a bad execution.Or should I say... a rupi kaur-esquepoetrycollectionwithag o o d themebut ab a d execution - an ode to tumblr emo girls and the enter keyThis is a collection of reflections on the author's experience with emotional abuse and heartbreak.

❥ 4 / 5 starssilence has always been my loudest scream.Kinda true.food is not the enemy - society is.Also true.just because they don’t hit you doesn’t mean it isn’t abuse.   wouldn’t you think it a crime to look up at the night sky & tell the stars that they have no sparkle?   guess what? you shine brighter than all the starlight there has ever been or ever will be.   - emotional abuse is still abuse.Dang! It’s absolutely true! The Princess Saves Herself in This One (#1) : reviewThe Witch Doesn'...

I love poetry! However, I think that my love for poetry froze at the end of the nineteenth century. I'm not a fan of the poetry from the twentieth century and if this is how poetry looks in the twenty-first century than no, thank you very much. I'm not going to say this is not poetry though my personal opinion might be different. (If you gave me one page from this and asked me if it was poetry, I would say a hard NO. But, as the author says: a) poetry is ____________. - anything you want it to b...

that is what abuse is:knowing you are going to get saltbut still hoping for sugarfor nineteen years. And so began my journey of love with this collection.You'll notice I didn't use the beginning quote. Well, I didn't love this from the very beginning. Towards the beginning, I found the formatting slightly annoying. Some poems were fantastic and new and interesting, but some almost made me snort from their cheesiness. At times I feel Amanda Lovelace got so caught up in sounding profound she fo
