Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC. My opinions are my own. 

This is another entry in possibly my new favorite genre of poems: pictures, illustrations, and backgrounds with poems on top of it. They just feel so atmospheric and "extra" in a way that makes my brain tingle. This collection got my brain tingling in several ways. 

This collection follows every day events, routines, and people doing their thing. There is something so beautiful and comforting about it. This collection was a nice snug blanket reminding me that just surviving another day is okay. 

While it was comforting, I was also met with such a profound sense of dread. One of the collections speaks about our existence and how it and the universe will meet its end one day. This is such a bone deep fear in me that just that section alone got me spiraling. So be aware my fellow "existential dreaders".

Final ranking and star rating? 
5 stars, S tier. This was a great collection. It got me feeling things, and it was such a unique little book that I am wildly tempted to buy a physical copy and put it on my coffee table. I probably will. 
Highly recommend as a palate cleanser and a reminder of the beauties of our everyday life.
