LOVED IT! Great Read That Speaks To The Heart:
“The words, the imagery, the emotions- everything was on point! Even the photography that the author included to complement her poetry and short stories were simply fantastic. Beautifully written. Highly recommend!”

Can’t put the book down:
“Universal truths are in this book. Each time I read a piece, it’s new. [Alyssa’s] talent is so diverse and deep.”

“Absolutely loved it! Beautifully written. You can feel the passion behind every word and every line in each poem. Its hard to keep the book down, i finished the whole book in one sitting, and i still go back to reread it all.
“Even the pictures in the book makes you feel closer to the author, like you know them personally. It’s one of the most underrated poetry books I’ve read in quite some time.”

Unexpectedly beautiful writing:
“I ordered this book because it grabbed my attention as soon as I came across it, but once I cracked the covers and dove into it, I immediately found myself drawn in by the writing. Each page felt like a small insight into the author and everything was written soooo beautifully. This is a big recommendation from me! :)”

This was such a good read:
“I feel like every entry was relatable to a certain phase in my life. This book is something that I will try to re-read annually, because I feel that at different stages of life each entry will mean something entirely different even though all the words will be the same. I feel lighter after reading. If you haven’t yet- you NEED to buy this book.
Alyssa- thank you for sharing such deep and intimate feelings and experiences. You should be so proud of yourself. I know for myself gathering my thoughts and emotions to write them down, is a task all on its own. Let alone, organize them enough to write a whole book.
‘The world needs you to tell the truth, so show up as the most enraged, aggravated, eccentric and emotional version of yourself – to be unapologetic in your approach to the world’
In your very own words – through this book, you did just that.”
