“If you want to know how we are treating our world. Look at how we are treating our women”
I got this on a whim hoping it would help me get over my current reading slump, and it did so much more. I loved this book.
The Rose that Blooms in the Night is a poetry collection that touches on many topics like love, loss, social media, family, growth and forgiveness, but most importantly it explores self-love and healing and that is why I think everyone should read this. I know some people are not going to enjoy this book as much because the poetry is Tumblr ish but it was exactly what I needed. This book made me reflect and forgive myself, it made me realize that sometimes it is okay to put yourself first and let go.
I truly cannot explain what this book made me feel, and maybe my rating is biased but I needed this book. I needed to read these words. This book is beautiful and inspirational, it pushes you to enjoy the moment and to forgive yourself and others. It includes beautiful simple images that are open to interpretation and give the book a nice touch. My only critique would be that I could not find an order in the poems, she talks about love, then loss, then social media, then love again and so on. Maybe it makes sense for the author but to me it seemed a little all over the place.
Overall, as you can see, I loved this book. I think everyone should read it because everyone is going to be able to identify to some of the aspects she explores. I cannot wait for the book to come out so that I can buy a physical copy, and I would definitely keep an eye on whatever the author writes next.
Thanks to NetGalley and the author for giving me the chance to read this.
