Overall Thoughts:
⁕ I don’t normally veer towards poetry because I’ve found it intimidating in the past, but Klingenberg’s writing is super accessible. Reading this book felt as easy as talking to a friend!

⁕ I loved the magical realism that was infused within the text! The mixing of nature and magic with talk of laundry and traffic made me stop and examine the ways that my everyday life has the potential to be fantastical.

⁕ Klingenberg provides striking commentary on modern relationship dynamics and female empowerment. She touches on themes of codependency, imposter syndrome, and emotional labor. I think this book will be a huge comfort to any young adult navigating relationships and self-identity.
