- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Me ha gustado bastante. Lang Leav escribe de manera magnifica, y muchos de sus poemas son impresionantes. Personalmente, no he pasado por algunas situaciones que ella si, por eso no pude identificarme con algunos textos, pero en general esta colección es muy hermosa.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Cada palabra está muy cuidada y hace difícil olvidar cada pieza. Me encantaría tenerlo en papel al alcance del mundo.

I really liked some poems. But for the majority, I found it lacking. Most poems were on past relationships and got kind of boring.
Not really my poetry style either. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I remember picking up lullabies and fell in love with it. The words were as if I had spoken it, it was a reflection of my heart. Ever since the, I had begun to appreciate poetry. Thank you for taking me on a journey once again with sea of strangers.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a wonderful piece of gem. This is my first Lang's book, and definitely will read more. I feel like finding a friend who understands me
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Clunky hack work, and yet marginally better than Rupi Kaur.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Es una colección de poemas memorable y la forma en la que escribe la autora es muy fácil de digerir. En mi opinion, no se necesita de tantas palabras para escribir un buen poema, así que si te gustan los poemas cortos este es tu libro
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Touched my heart to the core , im in love with this book
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is my second time reading a poetry collection from Lang Leav. I had previously read Lullabies and loved it. I’ve also read her novel, Sad Girls, and thought that was just okay. Basically, I loved this collection. Her poetry is just so beautiful and I love that some of her poems even rhyme (which you don’t get all that often in contemporary poetry). Her poems are a wonderful blend of contemporary and classical poetry which I think makes it very special. There is an effortless quality to them which I love. This collection had the theme of water/sea/ocean and I liked that the poems touched upon that without being too much. Not every poem incorporated that theme, but a good chunk of them did. I liked that she didn’t go overboard with that theme, because that sometimes happens in poetry collections and it makes them boring. I had so many favorites. I’ll list them below:-Where It Hurts-Strength-Writing-A New Day-Poetry and Prose-The Mermaid-More to Me-Letter by Letter-Crazy Love-Who You Love -Love What You Love-Misunderstood-Writer’s Block-A Letter to My Love-Love Poetry-We the Poets As you can see, I connected with a lot of her pieces. Overall, this is a beautiful and enchanting poetry collection!
