I seem to be your new favorite novel.

Fingers lingering on me so you don’t lose your place.

Relatable yet deeply intimate, provocative yet comforting, bite-sized yet profound, Lili's poems reflect her trademark honesty and unique perspective.

Ratings and reviews

I just finished reading it, and it's beautiful! I loved it so much that I just bought the audiobook too. 💓 It's lovely to start or end my day with a poem or two.

It is a very personal and profound book, the author (Lili Reinhart) shows us her feelings in such a pure and transparent way that it is almost like speaking directly with her, feeling and living what she experiences, that is the magic of her book. In my opinion this book should be a world poetic icon and deserves more recognition.

Just from reading the sample, I already can't wait to buy this tomorrow. Her lyrical artistry is simple yet beautiful and flows from a beautiful, carefree spirit.
