happy publication day to falling back in love with being human by kai cheng thom!

falling back in love with being human: letters to lost souls, is a modern poetry collection of 'letters' addressed to various people, groups, things, etc., written by canadian writer kai cheng thom. the poems were well-written and easy to follow, which is not always the case with poetry. however, overall the poems fell flat for me, i wasn't highlighting much and there were so many pop culture references - although i did really enjoy the poem addressed to jk rowling!

if you're a fan of poetry, definitely check this out on or after august 1st when it is published, but if you're not, this is a good one to skip. i don't think this will be the most memorable poetry collection, however, i am really looking forward to picking up thom's memoir since i enjoyed the writing style so much!

thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Canada for the e-arc of falling back into love with being human: letters to lost souls by kai cheng thom in exchange for an honest review.
