El único poemario con el cual me he sentido identificada, el que me hizo sentir tanto que llore casi todo el tiempo que leí , fue como un abrazo, algo cálido , algo que sentía me representaba , mis sentimientos plasmados en casa página , me llegó en el momento indicado

I found Whitney on TikTok and loved her spoken poetry。 This book was full of moving, heartfelt poems, and I recommend it to everyone who enjoys this sort of poetry!

How beautiful it is to know that you’re not alone and someone heart sings at the same tune as yours

From her TikTok videos to her words on paper, Whitney Hanson’s work never fails to be beautiful。

There aren’t enough stars to give to this masterpiece。 These words are pure comfort。 I cried。 I smiled。 I thought。 Whitney Hanson has been one of my favourite poets for months and I’m so happy I finally got to read her book。 “you don't need to act tough herehand me your hurt and i will hold you you are safei am not going anywhereanytime you need meopen this book and read these words you don't have to be strong right now” There aren’t enough stars to give to this masterpiece。 These words are pure comfort。 I cried。 I smiled。 I thought。 Whitney Hanson has been one of my favourite poets for months and I’m so happy I finally got to read her book。 “you don't need to act tough herehand me your hurt and i will hold you you are safei am not going anywhereanytime you need meopen this book and read these words you don't have to be strong right now” 。。。more

Sophie Edley,
I keep this book on my shelf and refuse to get read of it。 Whitney really used her story beautifully and narrated the healing process in such a poetic way。 I’m not into poetry AT ALL。 But this book I am proud to own。 I really needed this book when I Purchased

Absolutely a beautiful book。 If you enjoy Poems, I 100% recommend reading this。 Whitney put so many emotions I had into words so I could finally understand them。 Now, I work on making peace with my bees。 Absolutely recommend。 Whitney wrote this book amazingly。
Camila,
3。5 starsEl libro está dividido en tres partes que coinciden con el proceso de sanación/reconocimiento de la autora。 Tiene muchos poemas interesantes y algunos son sólo frases。 Me recordó mucho al estilo de Rupi Kaur pero siento que, siendo una autora tan joven, tiene muchísimo potencial。
Mavi Falabella,
Such a fantastic book of poetry。 Loss is hard and the healing journey is not linear and it’s important to recognise that! Whitney does this brilliantly。 I didn’t know how badly I needed this book。 I can’t wait for more
Danielle,
Finished it in less than a day。 Grateful that it popped up on Tik Tok。 I truly believe I was supposed to come across this book。 If you’re in the process of healing, this could be a good book to read!

This book lead me through my healing and felt like it was always there for me。 I have never connected to writing this much in my life。 This one is special…
Allison,
I don't think I've ever read a book that's made me feel so intimately and intrinsically seen。 It's amazing how words on paper can convey so much understanding and love from someone I've never met before。 Reading this was an almost-sacred experience。 I don't think I've ever read a book that's made me feel so intimately and intrinsically seen。 It's amazing how words on paper can convey so much understanding and love from someone I've never met before。 Reading this was an almost-sacred experience。 。。。more

Shirley Do Nascimento,
While the message is powerful, at times the book was just repetitive and some of the lessons not very new or groundbreaking。 Nonetheless, I can see the need for emotions such as these to be said ‘out loud’ and I’m grateful that she does not shy away from them

Because this is independently published and I’ve been following the author on social media for so long, I’m hesitant to leave a negative review。 Nevertheless, here we go。 The idea of this book is good。 The writing style is easily digestible, and the topic is relatable to a large audience。 However, it felt super repetitive and unfinished。 There were obvious typos throughout (ex: “to” on pg 211, “you” on pg 255), and there were many poems with extremely similar concepts。 I don’t need 2 poems with Because this is independently published and I’ve been following the author on social media for so long, I’m hesitant to leave a negative review。 Nevertheless, here we go。 The idea of this book is good。 The writing style is easily digestible, and the topic is relatable to a large audience。 However, it felt super repetitive and unfinished。 There were obvious typos throughout (ex: “to” on pg 211, “you” on pg 255), and there were many poems with extremely similar concepts。 I don’t need 2 poems with the exact same structure making the exact same comparison between people and seasons。 This didn’t feel like a deliberate creative choice, just lazy writing。 Many of the word choices felt immature or elementary, and would make the whole poem feel hollow。 “candles candles candlesyou always loved candleslately all i can think aboutare all the things you loveand how i'm not one of them” 。。。more
