My Review:
Rating: 4.5/5 stars.
Firstly, I'd like to thank Netgalley and Central Avenue Publishing for the eARC for an honest review.
I have to shout out the artist of the cover and the interior artwork, Neyha Sofat, who you can find on instagram @neyhaartistry because her artwork in this collection is absolutely stunning! Based on a true story, Confessions of Her is the debut poetry novel by Cindy Cherie.

This collection of poetry takes the reader on a journey of love and loss, showing how she overcame heartbreak to ultimately, save herself.
Each chapter in this collection was apart of the long painful process that is heartbreak. I felt I was with her with every step going through the pain of being too much for someone who wasn't enough and eventually realising that being who you truly are without editing yourself for others is what we owe ourselves. The right person will cherish everything about us. The emotional impact of this collection was phenomenal. It was written with such honesty and really captured that feeling perfectly. The title is so apt because it really is like a confessional of feelings.
I recommend this poetry collection to readers that enjoy romance but also self love poetry. Anyone going through heartbreak or has been through it then this is the book for you.
