This book is definitely a must-read/buy for Florence and the Machine fans. The majority of this book is lyrics, so if you were expecting mostly poetry separate from lyrics you may be disappointed. It also included art, hand-drawn pictures and notes. The volume itself is beautifully cloth-bound. I loved this beautiful volume.
  
I really LOVED this book. I've been on a poetry/verse style kick lately so this caught my eye immediately. The flow of the story worked really well and the illustrations added a lot to it. I learned a lot, and I found it hard to put down. I would love to see more like this.

Poems on love, grief & resilience
This book of poetry takes you on a journey. The grief and pain, the resilience of not letting life or people get you down, being open to love even though it could hurt. These poems resonate with the soul, honest and bare open for all to see.
Don't forget the tissues.
