To be honest I just found everything in his book to be OK I found the drawings to be OK I found the poems to be OK I didn’t think it was anything special I just thought it was very average
Ali Arbeau,
This is the most genuine and authentic collection of poetry I've read in a while! A quick read, but will definitely read again becuase it's the type of thing you can read a million times and take something new from it every time!

Krissy Ronan,
Interesting poetry collection about mental health and relationships and just general adulting。
Allie,
Sad but had good flow
Kireinatori,
I saw a recommendation on social networks and I felt identified with the title and some of the poems I had seen, so I bought it。 It was really good until the heartbreak poems 。。。 I understand that love is part of life but I didn't expect those kinds of poems in this book。 Maybe "He felt heartbroken (so he wrote this)" is the kind of book that has those 。。。 I saw a recommendation on social networks and I felt identified with the title and some of the poems I had seen, so I bought it。 It was really good until the heartbreak poems 。。。 I understand that love is part of life but I didn't expect those kinds of poems in this book。 Maybe "He felt heartbroken (so he wrote this)" is the kind of book that has those 。。。 。。。more

Grant Chemidlin does an great job capturing the feeling of “unwell” in his poems and brings words to the complicated thoughts of being a 20-something。 Very light,easy, fulfilling read。
Russell,
There's some good stuff in here, but it's very。。。 one note? If you want angst, you got it。 Pain, you betcha。 Hope and heartbreak? yep。 But not much more。 It feels as though this was adapted from the poetry of a young adult, rather than a full examination of a life, which is fine, but not quite what I expected/hoped for。 There's some good stuff in here, but it's very。。。 one note?

Matt Nazz,
This collection rocks, especially for those who have grown up closeted and are experiencing love and life for the first time
James Patterson,
Quick easy and so meaningful!
Tiffani,
this poetry book covers an array of deep topics from never getting to show those whom they love they’re “true” self to dealing with toxic relationship。 the rhyming was well thought out and jokes dropped surrounding the redundancy
richard telfer,
Omg。 So wonderful。 All of the feelings at once。
stoianem,
4。5 stars。 some of the poems put me in a sad mood but some were SO cute。 also being from mn, the last poem was amazing
Valentine,
I love this book so so much。 I stumbled across some of your poems through instagram, and decided that (someday) I'd make sure to buy your book, because honestly, they really moved me - and I promise I was not dissapointed。 Each of these poems were very heartfelt and written so so beautifully。 5/5 Stars - a really, really well written poetry collection。 I love this book so so much。 I stumbled across some of your poems through instagram, and decided that (someday) I'd make sure to buy your book, because honestly, they really moved me - and I promise I was not dissapointed。 Each of these poems were very heartfelt and written so so beautifully。 5/5 Stars - a really, really well written poetry collection。 。。。more

This collection is fab。 I saw another reviewer call it “shel Silverstein for adults” and I think that’s spot on—addresses many topics common for adults to be wrestling with, and does so alongside beautiful yet simple illustration。
Kayla,
Grant Chemidlin first caught my attention on TikTok as he read some poetry。 I started seeing more of his poetry & decided to buy his book。 This collection -- capturing themes of mental health, love, self-image/self-esteem, and empathy -- focuses on the sound and shape of poetry, creating amazing images with words, spacing, and sketches。 I will definitely be reading this again and again ❤
Cassandra York,
This poetry collection has an excellent flow! I loved how the longer poems would be split with some shorter statements that really packed a punch。 The illustrations were lovely and I really enjoyed this read。 Follow the poet on Instagram for more of his work!! @grantcpoetry
