I appreciate love poems that come with contrasting themes like the ones portrayed in this book By Pierre. I like the various sentiments expressed by this woman who knows what she wants but with no man in mind. Thanks for the review.

Lovely review. What attracts me most is the subject of these poems. The author seems realistic and raw in the use of words and writing style. I'll give it a read. Thank you for the review.

This sounds like an interesting perspective on love and relationships. I like the idea of it ending on a circle. It seems to round off the topics nicely. Thanks for the review!

Wow, you really have delved deeply into this one and given it a lot of thought and reflection. I suppose that is how poetry is supposed to be read, after all! It is all a bit beyond me, unfortunately, so I wouldn't read this book myself, but thank you for this very detailed analysis.

I am not really sure about reading romantic poems with a twist. However, I feel this should cater to a particular niche of readers. Thank you for the review!

The book sounds appealing with its free worse style and romance flavour. Thanks for this great review.

I like a well-written poetry collection, and the central theme of these poems sounds fascinating. However, I am a little hesitant if the poem's do not fit together completely cohesively in their current form. I am also not too fond of overly-sentimental lyrical voices, but that is easier for me to get past if it feels appropriate for the individual poem. Thank you for the thorough and helpful review.

I am a huge fan of poems and romance. I wish I could have the physical copy instead. Nevertheless, I'll put this on my shelf just in case I'm in the mood for this kind of readings. Thanks!

I like how this review was written. The interpretation of the poems was enlightening and entertaining. The author's message as viewed by the reviewer was interesting.

I like how the author used literary devices instead of opting for the free verse from beginning to end. I think it was a great idea to come up with one central theme. However, I'm not into poems.

Sounds fascinating that it functions on more than one plain. Things that change one's perspective are always attractive to me. The sample read like it should be read aloud to fully appreciate the art involved, and I would suppose that carries throughout the book.

Thank you for the review 😀

I'm not a fan of poetry. Since the poems in the collection are enjoyable, lovers of poems will enjoy reading them. Thanks for the review.

This description of yours presents the possessive and greed of the character to find love. The desperation of the character encouraged me to read the book and evokes an interest in knowing the level of hieghts the character can go in order to find love.

When attraction turns into obsession and addiction, things could get sour between the parties involved. The author writes poetic verses about a woman in limbo, both as a recipient and a perpetrator of aggression.
