This is easily one of the best book of poems I've ever bought.
I'm not sure if there are any words I can try to string together to tell you how beautiful this book full of art truly is. I cannot compose any amount of thanks for these words that have mended many of my broken pieces. I collapsed into every one of these poems, and relished in the healing power. These poems are real, very vast in content and will have a profound effect on you. This is easily one of the best book of poems I've ever bought.

Some of the poems even made me cry and as a whole I thought the collection was beautiful.
I'll be honest and start off with saying that I don't read poems very often and I know next to nothing about poetry. Now that that's out of the way I have to say that this was one of the most moving books I've read. I sat down and read all the poems in this book in one night. Even when the topic was something I couldn't relate to I still felt touched. Some of the poems even made me cry and as a whole I thought the collection was beautiful.

Finished in half a day.
First book of poetry that I finished in half a day. This was a first run through, not sure why I was rushing, but it felt like I couldn't stop turning the pages. Poetry should be more like wading into the pond but this felt like a river carrying me. I got pelted by her downpour, I'm drenched, but unrepentant.

Oh Clementine...
I’ve seen Clementine Von Radics in person along with Sabrina Benaim. If you haven’t checked out either poet, you need to. For anyone struggling with depression, anxiety, love lost, love won, growth, healing, and the magic of finding yourself alive.

This book is incredible. The poetry is so profound, yet so effortless at the same time... It's a perfect snapshot of life as a young adult and the reminiscing it entails. It touches any parts of you relating to troubled episodes of love, and love, and insecurity, but almost forgiving you for them, without taking you back to that dark time you may have endured. Clementine narrates in an extraordinary way episodes that are not always so, and this book is a ode to vulnerability, youth, love, loss, and being a bit disoriented, too. One of my favorites.

Rare and brilliant work
Stunning. Wisdom so far beyond this poet's years. You deserve the pleasure of this. To be read and loved, again and again, and again. I have so little else to say. Buy it, read it alone, then read it aloud. Share it. And be moved. Rare and brilliant work.

She Just Gets It.
Clementine von Radics has got something special; it's no wonder her poetry has become something of a shared wedding sentiment. But actually, her poetry isn't especially romantic as you might have expected with a reputation like that, in fact it's quite the opposite, and something about that honesty and perspective just works. How wonderful to read realistic poetry which doesn't speak about how life is hard until you meet someone special and it suddenly all fits into place and becomes magical, "I am not the first person you loved. You are not the first person I looked at with a mouthful of forevers". Let's be real, life is always hard and embracing or championing the scars and flaws of the people we love is exactly what life looks like.The collection is super sassy. The author fights fire with fire against some of the women in her life who didn't respect girl-code, "You pretty little scorpion on his nightstand" and she does it so damn well that it's almost viciously comical; any girl who has been hurt by another girl trying to sabotage her relationship will love this. She accepts that even she has been flawed in relationships and has kept people around to avoid being alone, "I said I love you when I meant something much more specific, I should have said please don't leave me, I'm afraid to sleep alone". She's just human - not flawless, infallible or righteous - she's just as messed up, conflicted and try-hard as the rest of us.I loved this collection. I don't think it is flawless in its entirety which is why I haven't given it five stars, but some of the poems really do deserve it. When she gets it right, such poems are genuine perfection. I'm almost afraid to try any more of her work in case it isn't as good!

Magnificent
When I read books of poetry I usually dog ear the poems I like the most. I've read many collections that I absolutely love, but there have always been poems that have spoken more to me than others. So I mark those ones.I didn't do that with this book. Well I did initially... until I realized I was dog earing every... single... page.These poems were all freaking masterpieces, and they left me in complete awe. They all spoke to me. So, so, so much...Not only is this now my favourite collection of poetry of all time...this is also my favourite book of all time.It's magnificent <3

Read this in one evening and loved it.
Read this in one evening and loved it... it unlike the other poetry books in its genre as it has a sense of realness to it. Its not telling you that everything will be ok - but actually it put a mirror to the world and situations and says - this is the reality of life. Loved it!

I’ve always loved the Clementine Von Radics poems I’ve read online. It’s so great to have a collection I can hold in my hands. As usual, she doesn’t disappoint.

Excelente
Recomiendo este libro a cualquier persona que le guste la poesía confesional, bajo la advertencia de que puede tener disparadores para gente que pasado por relaciones tóxicas, abuso sexual, o depresión. Sin embargo, también encuentras algo de consuelo en sus palabras. Duele, pero duele bonito.
