πΊ B O O K R E V I E W : πΊ . Lover (The Art of Staying Lost) by @mssakshinarula . Rating: 5/5 stars Goodreads: 4.50 β . I am very privileged to be the first person to hold a physical copy of this beautiful book. I want to thank Sakshi for trusting me with her proof copy and I'm very grateful for getting the chance to read this ARC. "π° ππππ ππ ππππ πππππππππ ππππππ ππππ πππ ππππππππππ πππππ ππππ π πππππ πππ ππππ" When I read Sakshi's first book, Loveish, I thought that was the best formatted poetry collection I had ever read but Sakshi has beaten herself with this book. The interior is absolutely stunning and I cannot imagine the amount of work went into creating this beautiful collection. All the small details that must have taken so many painstaking minutes, hours, days, months! "π πππππππππ ππππ ππ πππ πππ πππππ πππ ππππππππ πππππππππ πππππππ πππππ ππππππ" This collection explores love in such an intense way that you can literally feel the emotions playing out. It speaks of heartbreak, lust, letting go, clinging on, the pain that comes with not being loved in return. I could go on. Some of the poems felt like a battle against each other. One would speak of letting go and wanting to be forgotten but then another you could feel the intense pain of being replaced, wondering if they still think of you. It felt like a battle between the brain and the heart and I absolutely loved it! I also loved how Sakshi incorporated her culture in this collection as it gave the book a richer meaning. "πΎππ π πππ πππ ππππ ππ πππππ ππππ π πππππ πππ ππππ ππ πππππ ππππ?" It was lovely to see the season incorporated into the book throughout! If you enjoy poetry then I really recommend this collection. It releases on 30th October so not long to wait! . #lover #theartofstayinglost #sakshinarula #poetrycollection #bookreview #bookstagram #booklover #bookworm #books #bookstagrammer #bookish #booknerd #book #bibliophile #reading #bookphotography #bookshelf #bookreviewer #igreads #read (at Cambridge, Cambridgeshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFiJRe2Fmwb/?igshid=ei48hij83ct2
