bookswhitme 's review for:
Aphrodite Made Me Do It
by Trista Mateer
I received a free advanced copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I had no idea this was a book of poetry when I first requested it on Netgalley, I just knew I loved mythology and the cover was gorgeous. I connected with so many things said in this book. It was like reading someone’s personal journal as they move through healing from their trauma, whether inflicted by themselves or others. The truth is we as women endure so much pain and hurt, judgment and accusations from the hands of society, those close to us and from ourselves. We are enough is the message in this poetry, no matter your trauma, family history or romantic relationship history. I just....I loved this so much.
