Semicolon ; by McKayla DeBonis
4.0

i am the sun & moon of my own damn universe

this poetry collection was divided into two parts, dark & light. i do admit that i didn't really enjoy the first part, but i loved the second part much more. mckayla wrote beautiful poems about healing, self-love, and learning to love yourself and your body (again).

i also really appreciated both the trigger warning list at the beginning, and the suicide hotline/crisis line numbers at the end of the collection.
