Flower Crowns and Fearsome Things by Amanda Lovelace

 Five out of five stars doesn't quite seem like enough to give this book. Honestly I would double or triple this rating and it still wouldn't express just how fantastic this poetry is. 

This book is about femininity and how it is both soft and hard; kind and harsh; loving and cruel all at the same time. As a feminine person, reading this book is simultaneously the easiest and the hardest thing to do. You can't put it down because it is so clear and relatable, but now you see what you go through in a whole new light. 

Selecting a favorite poem from this work will probably be close to impossible to any of its readers as it is certainly impossible for me. 

The only thing that I can say to close out this review is if you are looking to expand your library with some poetry, this is truly the best book to do that with. 

I was given this book by NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing free to review.
