I love the cover page and the lovely collection of poetry. Poems that reflect feelings like sorrow, love, in relations ships. The review is well-written.

I don’t really read poetry books, so I’ll probably be taking a pass. The themes in this one do sound interesting though.

This collection of poems explores deep and various subjects, such as passion, love, guilt, and despair. The way the OBC reviewer describes the poems makes me interested in reading the anthology for myself. Congrats!

It seems like an intense collection of poems, indeed. One that reflect the poet's mind and feelings about various aspects of life like passion, pain, love, despair, guilt, the dynamics in relationships. I like that the poems are varied, and there is something for everyone. With this variety of different topics and the uniqueness of the author, surely I'll have a great time reading it.

The poetry appear to be well-written and relevant to current events, however the cover page is unappealing. Congrats on the #BOTD and Great review

I agree with the reviewer that the book cover is not very attractive. As I am not a poetry lover, I will probably skip this one.

The book's cover is both captivating and disturbing. However, I like the topics the poems discuss like speaking against bodyshaming and encouraging making good use of the youthful days. Congratulations on the BOTD.

I haven't even read this book but on reading the review, I'm seriously interested and want to read.
At first, I love poems so much, because it has beautiful and exciting genres,
Secondly, this novel discusses important facts about resilience and victory in the face of naysayers and haters, which is very common in every living societies.
Thirdly, the Author speaks against body shaming and hypocrisy, and I appreciate that very much.

I agree with you that the cover page of a book often helps a reader to decide on whether to read the book or not and is, therefore, a fundamental element in the presentation of the book to potential readers.
The mind adapts and converts to its own purposes the obstacle to our acting. The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way. - Marcus Aurelius
