i play hide-and-seek with love.

sometimes it cowers in the

cramped corners of my mind,

and sometimes it runs freely

through my veins.

Book: It Starts Like This Series: Stand Alone Author: Shelby Leigh Pages:  95 Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)

Synopsis:

After writing a poem a day for a year, Shelby Leigh decided to take her favorite works from the challenge and create her debut poetry collection. Beginning with heartbreak and loss and ending with closure and hope, It Starts Like This is the narrative of a girl learning to overcome and appreciate all aspects of life. This collection takes you on a journey through love, loss, grieving, and healing and will resonate with you long after you’ve turned the last page.

My Opinion:

1. Quick read 2. Gorgeous cover 3. Great poems 4. Poems were a good length 5. Beautiful writing
