Beautifully Heartbreaking: This book made my whole day stop. To-do list set aside, glass of wine poured, just reading, absorbing, feeling. Alisha's writing is stunning. The raw emotion that she so lovingly pours onto the page is beautifully heartbreaking and terrifyingly relatable. As her poetry meanders through a cycle of hurting and healing, it will bring laughter and tears. Set aside a chunk of time because this is a book you want to pay attention to and digest. -Lacey

The poems validated my own experiences. I read this book in one day! So beautifully written. Simple and so eloquently done. I related to much of the poetry and it brought tears to my eyes. The poems validated my own experiences. She lets us be privy to a window in time of emotional and verbal abuse that often happens behind closed doors. -Rebecca Bailey
Inspiring and real: I read the whole thing in a day and have read it so many times since then. Definitely a must-read for anyone who loves an emotional, authentic poem. -Rian
