“Dear prince, if you tried to find me now, you wouldn’t be able to. You see, when I finally learned how to love myself, everything about me changed. Love, the princess” Break your Glass Slippers is a poetry collection about overcoming those who don’t see your worth, even if that person is sometimes yourself. When I saw this book available on NetGalley I immediately started to read it. I am a huge fan of Amanda Lovelace´s work. Like most of Amanda Lovelance´s work I adored this poetry collection. The author is starting to become one of my favorites. The poetry isn’t groundbreaking or a masterpiece but it makes me feel things no other poetry has ever been able to do. It makes me reflect and appreciate everything that surrounds me, including myself. Every time I read Lovelace´s work I feel good and this was no exception. This poetry collection makes me feel like I matter and even though this is Lovelance´s story I feel seen and represented. These are words you need to hear no matter at what point in your life you are. I can see why some people see this as a Twitter/ Tumblr post, and maybe it is, but even a Twitter / Tumblr post can be beautiful and inspiring. What made this collection extra special for me was that every negative thought was followed by a positive one, it felt hopeful. The poetry is empowering and promotes self-love above all. I truly recommend you read it. Overall it was an amazing poetry collection, the poems are raw and promote self-love which I think is crucial. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a short, powerful poetry book that is easy to read and will definitely make you love yourself a little bit more. Finally, please read the trigger warnings at the beginning of the book. Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
