Review: The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace

The Princess Saves Herself in This One was a fairly emotional read for me. This poetry collection is divided into four different parts: the princess, the damsel, the queen, & you.  And there were a lot of parts that really hit home (especially the princess), so much so that I had to put the collection down for a minute and think.

The Princess Saves Herself in This One explores life & all of its love, loss, grief, healing, empowerment, & inspirations. And I loved and felt everything deeply.

Here are a few poems that made me both contemplate and feel:
