This Could be About Either of You by Anna Leslie Long
5.0

~I rarely read poetry, but Anna has made me want to read more! Although I may not have experienced everything that is in this book, I still related to the emotions throughout the poems.
~Specifically: "Self-loathing is my native tongue and I let it lap up every inch of my skin because words of affirmation are my love language." I feel attacked lol
~There are many other instances I related to the emotions of the poems, but this one really struck me when I read it. I'd recommend this to people who have experienced yearning for something, or someone, but can't have it and those struggling with emotions and themselves in general.
~I feel like poetry hits different when you can actually relate to the topics or emotions and This Could Be About Either of You delivered that feeling. Also I love the book references, especially Call Me By Your Name :) Oh, and I love the illustrations added throughout! <3

Disclosure: I received This Could be About Either of You as an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.
