Summary
Notable TikTok creator Michaela Angemeer explores connecting with your inner child， loving the worst parts of yourself， coming out as bisexual， and focusing on self-growth in her much-anticipated poetry collection。
Please Love Me At My Worst is a collection of four sections of poetry inspired by loneliness， unrequited love， and not being able to let go of past relationships。 Written during the 2020 COVID-19 quarantine， the book is a reflection of what it means to yearn for people who are unavailable and how important it is to focus on self-love and healing。

Poetry that speaks。。。。There is something about Angemeer's poetry that speaks directly to me。 Aside from the commonality of human experience， it is as tho our souls have met across time and space。 As in her previous books， she writes of loss， rejection， love， and loneliness in a way that resonates。 This is what true poetry was meant to be。 Poetry that speaks。。。。There is something about Angemeer's poetry that speaks directly to me。 Aside from the commonality of human experience， it is as tho our souls have met across time and space。 As in her previous books， she writes of loss， rejection， love， and loneliness in a way that resonates。 This is what true poetry was meant to be。 。。。more

I think did a great job on the poetry in the book。 I will defently be going back to it and skim through the books when I need some motivation or positive words。

I received an eARC copy from Andrews McMeel Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。An exquisite read。 The poetess' play with words， the expressiveness and depth radiate the feelings we sometimes cannot describe。 Talking about body positivity， mental health， loneliness， and acceptance has never been so crucial; these poems build up self-esteem， self-appreciation， and self-love。 Working on ourselves has always been THE achievement， THE goal， and it is always a great feeling to f I received an eARC copy from Andrews McMeel Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。An exquisite read。 The poetess' play with words， the expressiveness and depth radiate the feelings we sometimes cannot describe。 Talking about body positivity， mental health， loneliness， and acceptance has never been so crucial; these poems build up self-esteem， self-appreciation， and self-love。 Working on ourselves has always been THE achievement， THE goal， and it is always a great feeling to find words of support and encouragement， even better when they are put together this beautifully。 Some of the poems were too short to pass a message， too quick a read to make an impact。 However， these few poems did not take away much of the poetry collection's worth and performance。 The collection feels like a good and open conversation with yourself， the one we always want to do but are scared of it。 And it is always a good idea to have one: loving yourself is paramount。 。。。more

I was doubtful reading this poetry collection if I would like it or not， because I have never read anything by Michaela Angemeer。 It is safe to say that I was pleasantly surprised with how I got myself immersed in the lines。 Michaela shows very good side of our characters， we crave for love of others， whether it is from our partner/children/ family/ friends/ acquaintances / passers by。 We feel more worthy， stronger， capable of everything when we know that someone loves us， and no matter how some I was doubtful reading this poetry collection if I would like it or not， because I have never read anything by Michaela Angemeer。 It is safe to say that I was pleasantly surprised with how I got myself immersed in the lines。 Michaela shows very good side of our characters， we crave for love of others， whether it is from our partner/children/ family/ friends/ acquaintances / passers by。 We feel more worthy， stronger， capable of everything when we know that someone loves us， and no matter how sometimes we are left with the wrong ideal of love - yet， we crave for it。 However， in the end， the most important is that self-love which is usually the hardest to obtain。 When we love ourselves， it is so much easier to love each other， but also to complete everything else。 I would love to have a collection like this in my shelf， I would love to get the chance to take a look at her other works。 :）Thank you Netgalley， the author and publisher for an ARC。 。。。more

This is probably the best poetry collection I've read。 Angemeer somehow put feelings I wasn't aware I even had into words， and I was just a complete mess once I finished reading it。 I loved the focus on body positivity and mental health， and the poems about sexuality were scarily relatable。 I've read plenty of poetry focused on mental health and even being queer， but this is the first time I've read any about body positivity。 I immediately told my best friends about these poems because they help This is probably the best poetry collection I've read。 Angemeer somehow put feelings I wasn't aware I even had into words， and I was just a complete mess once I finished reading it。 I loved the focus on body positivity and mental health， and the poems about sexuality were scarily relatable。 I've read plenty of poetry focused on mental health and even being queer， but this is the first time I've read any about body positivity。 I immediately told my best friends about these poems because they helped my self-esteem and how I see my body tremendously。I really recommend this beautiful collection to every poetry reader！ You won't regret picking this one up。Disclaimer: I received a gifted copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

What a wonderful collection of poetry。 This is the first book I’ve read from this author。 I liked how the poetry was set up in four different sections。 This poet definitely has a way with words as each poem flowed so well with a clear message。 I really liked her poems about not being able to get over past relationships and I feel like these poems will relate to many people。 I’m definitely going to read her other books of poetry。 Thanks to Netgalley for this ARC。

This is beautiful short poetry。。 It’s feels like a self help book without the rambling， It’s succinct and emotional。 Something that could be read a verse at a time for a little lift rather than deep diving into a “how to love yourself” type novel。 I enjoyed it。

*I was kindly sent this in exchange for an honest review via Netgalley*'Please love me at my worst' is a poetry collection， divided in four different sections， about growth， self-love and learning to deal with heartbreak。 I gave this a try because I saw it had some very good critics， but knowing my history with 'modern poetry'， I probably should've stayed away。 Most of her poems are not really bad， but they are mere two or three line poems， which makes them feel as incomplete。 Also， some of them *I was kindly sent this in exchange for an honest review via Netgalley*'Please love me at my worst' is a poetry collection， divided in four different sections， about growth， self-love and learning to deal with heartbreak。 I gave this a try because I saw it had some very good critics， but knowing my history with 'modern poetry'， I probably should've stayed away。 Most of her poems are not really bad， but they are mere two or three line poems， which makes them feel as incomplete。 Also， some of them are dictionary definitions， which infuriates me。 Also， is it just me or do all of these 'modern poetry’ books （Amanda Lovelace， Lili Reinhart， etc， etc。） contain strikingly similar poems？ I feel like I have already read this。At least the cover is cute， I will give her that。 。。。more

Beautifully written and laid out。 I absolutely love love stories and poetry。 Most of these you will know。 Some I have never heard of before。 These stories transported me to another world of love and light。 I felt like this book was speaking to me and for me。 It was so beautifully written and resonated to my core。 Highly recommend。 I received an advance review copy for free， and I am leaving this review voluntarily。
