❤ B O O K R E V I E W : ❤ Shades of Lovers by @catarinehancock Rating: 5/5 stars Goodreads: 4.12 ⭐ Firstly, I'd like to thank @netgalley and Central Avenue Publishing for the eARC for an honest review! Again, I was pleased to see the trigger warnings at the beginning of the books! This collection is separated into six chapters that each focuses on a different relationship and there are patterns throughout, such as the 'relationship status' and 'words of advice' poems but I really loved the last longer piece of each chapter that was written like a letter to each ex. The first chapter, Ruby Red, literally felt like it was written for me. Every detail was the same, even the age! I couldn't have related to anything more. I loved how the author validated every type of love at any age. There was so much reflection and honesty. A lot of poetry about love and heartbreak only focuses on the other persons wrongdoings but I loved how there was acknowledgment of her own flaws and mistakes. The amount of feelings that I felt while reading this book was unbelievable and I feel like I want to buy a physical copy just so I can go back a read it again and again! There are a mixture of short pieces and long pieces, mainly poetry but also some prose and they are all equally as good. I would recommend this poetry collection to those who enjoy poetry about love and also enjoy YA. I really loved it and know that it will be a book I come back to time and again. #shadesoflovers #catarinehancock #centralavenuepublishing #amylittlefordauthor #amylittleford #poetrycollection #bookreview #bookstagram #books #bookstagrammer #bookish #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #reading #readersofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #bookblogger #bookrecommendations #bookcommunity #bookphotography #bookshelf #read #goodreads #bookreviewer #igreads #bookclub #bookreviews #reader #netgalleynovember2020 (at Cambridge, Cambridgeshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHVj1eel16Q/?igshid=1eitzltbcxulh
