The book started in an exciting introduction, love, attraction, stir, deep obsession in loving a person purely, and ended with a satisfactory ending.
I would like to express how much I liked the literature skills in the first pages, especially when she was describing the sky where I like looking at the sky and my head up every day.
I enjoyed the words in the beginning where it was a nice pickup for them.

Some of the successive words were like a musical rhythm to my ears as I read them. I read some of them out loud as if they were a song.

I loved the drawings in the book, the apple in the tree, the butterflies, amazing, the baby with wings, the character.

Ending every some parts with “I love you” has touched me. Sometimes when we love someone, we just don’t get enough of saying the same words hundreds of times.

I don’t think true love makes us weak in general, it makes us strong, capable, and alive.

It’s healthy that we won’t search for it anymore when we get it. We’ll be only weak when it’s for just one person who shares and dedicates this feeling for us, which is, no problem with it in my prospective…

“Go Ahead and Write” was one of the paragraphs that I liked with “I love you” and “Pity Party”.
In conclusion, thanks for releasing this beautiful book, I appreciate the beauty when I see it, and I’m thankful of its existence. I’m happy that the character got over it…
This is my first review at online book club I hope I did well with this wonderful book.

I agree with Penelope Chaisson's concept of expressing emotions with words. There is no clear expression without words, and all of this can be seen and felt in her books of poetry. Congratulations on BOTD.

'Her latest book, Love is a Jigsaw Puzzle, is a collection of poems that beautifully captures the intricacies of falling in and out of love.'
I've read Penelope's first poem, and I found it interesting. I hope this one too would be as interesting as the first if not more.

This book is a collection of poems that captures the complexities of falling in and out of love. The poems are real and poignant. It seems geared toward adult women going through difficult circumstances.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting collection of poetry focusing on the concept of love, both being in love and falling out of love. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

I really appreciate your thoughtful review of Love is a Jigsaw Puzzle by Penelope Chaisson. It’s clear that the book resonated with you on a deep level, especially through its exploration of the complexities of love. I’m particularly intrigued by how the poems are divided into the four sections—Sweet, Sour, First Sight, and First Bite—as it seems to reflect the various stages of a relationship, from the joys to the challenges. Your mention of the author’s simple yet impactful vocabulary makes me think this collection is both accessible and deeply emotional, which is no small feat. The way you highlighted the real and moving nature of the poems, as well as their ability to offer reassurance and direction, makes me feel like this book could be a powerful tool for anyone navigating the turbulent waters of love. Also, your praise of the editing and the inclusion of sketches suggests a well-rounded reading experience. This review has definitely piqued my interest, and I’ll be adding this book to my reading list. Thank you for sharing your insights!

The simplicity of her language is as refreshing as a cool breeze on a hot day, making these poems not just accessible but deeply resonant. It’s like she’s giving you a hug and a pep talk all in one go.

This poem book is a delicate collection of poems about falling in and out of love: Who hasn't been there? The simplicity of the choice of words makes this book so appealing, because before I have read poems, although beautiful, that were hard to follow: this seems to be a beautiful exception.
