Katey Bassett (610 KP) rated Bloodline in Books
Dec 10, 2018
Loved the artistic side to this book and also felt like the poetry was really honest and raw, although I couldn't relate to some of the poems, I really liked how honest she was.

Jun 25, 2018
For the hour or two that it takes to read this book of poems, many will feel that they have a friend. Someone who understands what they're going through. It feels very much like a pep talk from your best friend, reminding you of your worth. Most of the poems are very short. 3-5 lines for the smallest, but overall I really liked this collection, and I plan to read the other two in the series.
