“To Make Monsters Out of Girls” by Amanda Lovelace

This is a collection of poetry about a bad relationship and whether you can heal after it’s over. It’s divided into 3 sections……..monster-boy, monster-girl and sun-heart. Each section focus’ on a different aspect of that bad relationship. My favorite poem in this book was on page 106. If you have ever been through a bad relationship or a tough break up, this might be the book you need to read for yourself. {Note: I’d recommend this poetry for mature audiences only.}

Synopsis: Winner of the 2016 Goodreads Choice Award for Best Poetry, amanda lovelace presents her new illustrated duology, “things that h(a)unt.” In this first installment, to make monsters out of girls, lovelace explores the memory of being in an abusive relationship. She poses the eternal question: Can you heal once you’ve been marked by a monster, or will the sun always sting?

  1. I will have to check this out! Have you ever read “Milk and Honey” by Rupi Kaur? Such a wonderful collection of poetry (some parts tragic) but overall inspiring.
